|
my father says to write a love song |
|
breathe it into life and he will come to me |
|
my mother says I've got nice friends |
|
and means to ends - everyone deserves to be happy |
|
well I'm not looking for a companion |
|
I want the arms made to enfold this body in |
|
but if I'm waiting for something that isn't true |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
my brother says its unexpected |
|
late night conversations turn to kisses |
|
my friends they tell a different story |
|
battle scars, grim and gory, and near misses |
|
well I'm just looking for a gentile heart |
|
one that still won't take my shit when I start |
|
but if I'm losing faith with each new passing moment |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
if I meet a man and he's beautiful |
|
and he smells like sea and sand, and he's beautiful |
|
and I know he's not you, but he's beautiful |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
so I will try to write our love-song |
|
breathe it into life so you will come to me |
|
I see us walking through the jungle |
|
stepping over stones set under hanging trees |
|
and when the night comes we are not afraid |
|
for our laughter echos through this endless space |
|
returning as this song is sang to you |
|
I am waves and you're captain of the sea |
|
and you're sailing your sweet body over me |
|
and we're sinking deeper into oceans blue |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
|
oh what's a girl to do? |
