If I asked you what you wanted,
If I asked if you still cared,
You would lead me down some dark and dirty road of despair,
You would shed some sorry tears,
Whisper in my ear, and touch my hair
And if I told you what it meant to me,
If I let you in my head,
You would shoot some stolen lines from some books that you had read,
Then you'd smile bittersweet,
And I'd know that I'd been beat and I'd be dead
Well I don't even know why I give you the time,
But I've been having trouble trying to get you off of my mind
And it's awful hard to tell my heart not to feel for you and that's the truth
God help the man who has fallen in love with you
And if I walked on nails and needles,
Just to offer you my hand,
You would laugh and smile and say,
"Oh baby, won't you do it again?"
I would fall on my knees to do as you pleased,
So I could be your man again
Well I don't even know why I give you the time,
But I've been having trouble trying to get you off of my mind
And it's awful hard to tell my heart not to feel for you and that's the truth
God help the man who has fallen in love with you
Oh, and if there was a bridge,
Across the water's edge,
To lead me to your lips,
You would simply stand aside,
And you'd set that bridge on fire,
Then you'd blow me one sweet kiss
Just like this
And I don't even know why I give you the time,
But I've been having trouble trying to get you off of my mind
And it's awful hard to tell my heart not to feel for you and that's the truth
God help the man who has fallen in love with you
