So you think the man is crazy
|
He eats up your lies like they're good for him
|
Apple pie
|
He don't even cry
|
He is not a fool
|
He's just tryin' to do what his heart says to
|
To love you
|
As you take to the wind (to the wind again my friend)
|
As he breaks down within (within within wthin)
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
He waits for you patiently
|
Hopin' that one day you'll see
|
That all he really wants to be
|
Is yours and yours alone eternally
|
|
What do you want the boy to do?
|
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
|
What do you want the boy to do?
|
All he really wants is you...
|
|
He knows what you are
|
Still he'll be your game (say the word today)
|
You'll know better (build a world around him)
|
Now and then you'll promise
|
All the way-out things that you're gonna get
|
(You will see, you will be
|
so damn glad that you finally found him free to go)
|
As he watches you come and go (for your show)
|
As he watches your promises zero (zero zero zero)
|
|
He waits for you patiently
|
Hopin' that one day you'll see
|
That all he really wants to be
|
Is yours and yours alone eternally
|
|
What do you want the boy to do?
|
Don't you see you're breaking the child in two?
|
What do you want the boy to do?
|
Don't you see that you're breaking the child in two?...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
