You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.
I never thought that so much trouble was restin on my reply
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
and you were the only one who d come.
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity
when you know it s the way that you walk.
Why do you have to say that there s always someone
who can do it better than I can?
But don t you think that I know that walking on the water
won t make me a miracle man?
Baby s gotta have the things she wants.
You know she s gotta have the things she loves.
She s got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
and her black patent leather gloves.
And I m doing everything just tryin to please her
even crawling around on all fours.
OhI thought by now that it was gonna be easy
but she still seems to want for more.
(chorus)
I hear they re givin you a bad reputation
just because you ve never been denied.
You try to say you ve done it all before.
Babyyou know that you just get tired.
Yet everybody loves you so muchgirl.
I just don t know how you stand the strain.
OhII m the one who s here tonight
and I don t wanna do it all in vain.
(chorus)
