Lyrics Bonnie - Chance Waters, The Griswolds

Bonnie

She don’t want to catch my gaze
Doesn’t trust what her eyes might say
Doesn’t think that we’ll see things through
Most boys look the other way
Two pools like a crystal blue
Bet I drown before I learn to float
Taught these pupils a thing or two
Love lessons from a broken home
But while there’s a beat in my chest
I just don’t, do not understand
Why I’m the only man
Believe in me Bonnie
Believe in me Bonnie
White flag, surrender easy
White dove she could fall to peaches
I could tell her anything she wants
But it might as well be God cuz she won’t believe it
Street smart and a little defeatist
And no dumb luck but a lot of feelings
She don’t need the words I’m speaking
She needs somebody to hear her reasons
Cuz she don’t believe in nothing
If she cannot touch it
And you cannot clutch
All the love that I claim
She can hear the words I say
But hearts can break and they can’t be blamed
Cuz she don’t believe in someone
If she cannot trust them
And tomorrow is something
But it’s not today
It isn’t that she doesn’t have faith
She’s just smart enough to know that people change
But while there’s a beat in my chest
While there’s a breath in my lungs
I just don’t, do not understand
Why I’m the only man
Believe in me Bonnie
Believe in me Bonnie
I just don’t, do not understand
Why I’m the only man
Believe in me Bonnie
Believe in me Bonnie
She’s the one, I can tell by all our days
In the setting sun and its final dying rays
And the things I want and the way in which they’ve changed
And the moments gone and the ones we’ve yet to face
Yes some have run, but I will be here in the end
If the end should come, and here is where she rests her head
And you’ll find me there is she will have me by her bed
And I’m the man I hope I’ll learn to be by then
Then I’ll remain here
I just don’t, do not understand
Why I’m the only man
Believe in me Bonnie
Believe in me Bonnie
I just don’t, do not understand
Why I’m the only man
Believe in me Bonnie
Believe in me Bonnie
