| I said «why do you chase me so
 | 
| When you know I won’t give in?»
 | 
| He paused at me, his eyes narrowed
 | 
| Said «I can’t help it (you little bitch!)»
 | 
| And so he listened while I told
 | 
| And he answered when I asked
 | 
| And with the stories of my soul
 | 
| He drew a map
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| He breathes embers into sparks
 | 
| Just to keep my body warm at night
 | 
| Takes the temperature of my heart
 | 
| And keeps the stars I hang my dreams on in his sight
 | 
| & I will go to any length
 | 
| To live up to the strength he knows I have
 | 
| I will travel any route
 | 
| To give up doubt of the woman he knows I am
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| Lord knows only time will tell
 | 
| If ever I’ll blush for someone else
 | 
| He compels me with his heartfelt
 | 
| Honesty unparalleled
 | 
| He peers around my learning curve
 | 
| Calls me on my shortsighted nerve
 | 
| Knows me better than I know myself
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| He doesn’t do what I want when I want it
 | 
| But he does what I need when I need it
 | 
| Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
 | 
| He doesn’t follow where I walk
 | 
| But if I turn, he will be there
 | 
| How can a man who’s such a rock
 | 
| Be lighter than the air? |
