| 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? |
