(Allan Toussaint) |
|
(so...) |
|
So you think the girl is crazy |
|
To eat up your lies like it's good |
|
(Your lies like apple pie) |
|
(She don't even cry) |
|
She is not a fool |
|
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to |
|
To love you |
|
And as you t |
|
ake to the wind |
|
(to the wind again she breaks down) |
|
And as she breaks down within (within, within) |
|
Pre-chorus: |
|
She waits for you patiently |
|
Hopin' that someday you'll see |
|
[ That] all she really wants to be |
|
Is yours and your |
|
s alone, eternally |
|
Chorus: |
|
What do you want the girl to do |
|
[ Don't you know] you're breakin' the child in two |
|
[ Can't you see] |
|
What do you want the girl to do |
|
All she really wants is you |
|
She knows what you are |
|
Still she'll be your queen if you let |
|
her |
|
(Just say the word today) |
|
(Build the world around her) |
|
Now and then you'll promise |
|
All the way-out things you're goin' to get her |
|
(You will see, you will see) |
|
(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago) |
|
'Cause ma |
|
ybe she knows better |
|
As she watched you come and go (all you'll show) |
|
And as she watched your promises erode |
|
[repeat pre-chorus] |
|
[repeat chorus] |
|
What do you want the girl to do |
|
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two |
|
What do you want the girl |
|
to do |
|
Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two [fade] |
