What Do You Want the Boy to Do? - Bonnie Raitt

So you think the girl's crazy She 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 take to the wind again (To the wind again she breaks down) And as she breaks down within (Within, within) She waits for you patiently, Hoping that someday you'll see That all she really wants to be Is yours and yours alone eternally 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 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) Still she knows better (So damn glad you found out about her Don't leave the girl) As she watch you come and go (For your show) And as she watch your promises erode She waits for you patiently, Hoping that someday you'll see That all she really wants to be Is yours and yours alone eternally What do you want the girl to do Can't you see you're breakin' The child in two What do you want the girl to do All she really wants is you 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

I used to pace around a lot thinking deep to myself Why do people like to talk? It can't be good for their health Having strong opinions based on nothing at all Except they heard it from a mighty smart man who knows it all It used to drive me mental, always on the brain The first thing in the morn' and when I go to bed again I heard that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones If they're talking about me, they're leaving someone else alone So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? And I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be A few years on and I've gone through a transition Calling people out on gossip is no longer a mission Instead, when they come at me with the bullshit There's no better man to give them their fill of it If that's what keeps them going, who am I to deny them? The cycle is recycled and there's no point in rising 'Cause rising leads to ruction, and ruction leads to fighting Fighting leads to jail time, sure that could be a lifetime So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? And I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be What about the babysitter, a 5th cousin of Hitler? In every single house and I've heard there's badness in her And then the painter John from Tyrone or Inishowen What's he doing painting anyway? He's involved with Al Capone A little birdie told me, I read it in the paper I've seen it on the internet, I heard it from a neighbour And everybody's talking, but I don't know them really well You're not the first one said that, so I would well believe it So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be So, what do you want to know? And I'll tell you the gods honest truth Well, what did you hear last night? Would I ever lie to you? I couldn't get over that, he didn't lick that off the grass But you never heard that from me That's the way it's always going to be

Yeah baby, I've been drinking, And I shouldn't come by I know But I found myself in trouble darling, And I had no place else to go Got some whiskey from a bar man, Got some cocaine from a friend I just had to keep on moving, Till I was back in your arms again ---- Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty, I'll be guilty for the rest of my life How come I never do, What I'm supposed to do Nothing that I try to do ever turns out right ---- Well you know how it is with me baby, You know I just can't stand myself It takes a whole lot of medicine, For me to pretend to be somebody else.

Nobody else could make me happy No one could hurt me like you do You were the only one that mattered Then you were gone, love had moved on Left me alone thinking of You, there was never any other You, and I were created to be true Isn't it love that keeps us breathing Isn't it love we're sent here for Wasn't that love that we were feeling (That was something baby) Deep in our soul, deeper than we know Keeping me holding out for You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together True hearts in a world where love is dyin' And I might as well have been dyin' when We were apart When you came back I felt the beating of my heart You, there was never any question You'll be forever on my mind You and I, we were meant to be together You, and only you It was you, only you You, always you

As I walk along I wonder what went wrong With our love a love that was so strong And as I still walk on I think of the things We've done together while our hearts were young I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my runaway I'm a walking in the rain to the bone I feel the pain Wishing you were here by me to end this misery And I wonder I w-w-wonder baby yeah you know why you ran away And I wonder if you will stay my little runaway my little runaway Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) You left me standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway) Come back baby (Run, run, runaway) Standing in the rain (Run, run, runaway)
