| If love is the meal for the hunger you feel, |
| call for the witer. |
| We’re all gonna feed on whatever |
| we need sooner or later. |
| I just stay out of my way. |
| I call for the check when I’m ready to pay. |
| The bill’s for the faith or the will, |
| whichever is greater. |
| CHORUS Tell me how does it happen? |
| I can’t tell you for sure, |
| but I don’t think I ever needed it more |
| Cuz now it’s two for the show and |
| they all wanna how |
| did you meet her? |
| I think it was luck, |
| she fell off a truck, |
| from there it was follow the leader. |
| I saw her walkin' alone, |
| I treated her nice and she followed me home. |
| There was nobody there to tell me |
| that I couldn’t keep her. |
| CHORUS (variant) Tell me how does it happen? |
| I can’t tell you for sure, |
| but I don’t shut my tail in the door any more. |
| You know it’s only a scene, |
| the play is the dream, |
| the bigger the better. |
| What can I say, |
| she’s writin' the play and I’m gonna let her. |
| I just believe in the role. |
| I open wide and it swallows me whole. |
| The take is the give, |
| the give is the way that I get her. |
