What Do You Want the Girl to Do
So you, you think the world looks crazy
And eats up your lies
Like it's good for her
Like apple pies
And she don't even cry
She is not a fool
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
(To love you) To love you!
And as you take to the wind
(To the wind again, my friend)
As she breaks down within
(Within, within, within)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
All she really wants to be is yours and your's alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, ooh
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, ooh
When all she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen
You say the words today
And build your 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 be)
But you know better (So damn glad you finally found her, free to go)
As she watched you come and go
(All you'll show, you'll show, you'll show)
And as she watched your promises erode
(Erode, erode, erode)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, woah!
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, woah!
When all she really wants to be
Is yours eternally
What do you want the girl to do, woah
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, woah
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
And eats up your lies
Like it's good for her
Like apple pies
And she don't even cry
She is not a fool
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
(To love you) To love you!
And as you take to the wind
(To the wind again, my friend)
As she breaks down within
(Within, within, within)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
All she really wants to be is yours and your's alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, ooh
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, ooh
When all she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen
You say the words today
And build your 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 be)
But you know better (So damn glad you finally found her, free to go)
As she watched you come and go
(All you'll show, you'll show, you'll show)
And as she watched your promises erode
(Erode, erode, erode)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
That all she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, woah!
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, woah!
When all she really wants to be
Is yours eternally
What do you want the girl to do, woah
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
What do you want the girl to do, woah
Don't you know you're breaking the child in two
