Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed twenty-six cents from
|
I wanted to ask what the extra penny is for
|
I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you
|
He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening
|
I think you need it more"
|
And it's the same damn thing
|
The stuff you put me through
|
I walked across a bridge and almost right past a suicide
|
You could say I'm a hero depending on the light that you put me in
|
What changed her mind was when I took the time to tell her 'bout you and me
|
She heard my tale and climbed off the rail and then she tried to push me in
|
|
And it's the same damn thing
|
I hope I'm doing it to you
|
|
And it sounds like thunder
|
And it fills like rain
|
But I've been so thirsty
|
That I can't explain
|
How you feel me and grow me
|
And no one has known me
|
To complain
|
For you are my blessed pain
|
You are my blessed pain
|
|
Girls need candy and flowers and monogamy
|
From someone who makes them feel worthwhile
|
Boys need food and five minutes with his right hand free
|
But only the girl gonna make him smile
|
And it's the same damn thing
|
The stuff that you put me through
|
|
And it sounds like thunder
|
And it fills like rain
|
But I've been so thirsty
|
That I can't explain
|
How you feel me and grow me
|
And no one has known me
|
To complain
|
For you are my blessed pain
|
You are my blessed pain
|
|
Girls need shoes and attention and monogamy
|
From someone who makes them feel worthwhile
|
Boys need food and basically five minutes with his right hand free
|
But only the girl gonna make him smile
|
And it's the same damn thing
|
I hope I'm doing it to you
|
|
And it sounds like thunder
|
And it fills like rain
|
But I've been so thirsty
|
That I can't explain
|
How you feel me and grow me
|
And no one has known me
|
To complain
|
For you are my blessed pain
|
You are my blessed pain
|
You are my blessed pain
