She gives me smiles
When i have frowns
She holds out her hand
When i am down
She already knows
What she wants
She already knows
He loves someone
But i just tell her that
I'm not the one she needs
She needs someone who knows how to make her see
That there's a world out there that's waiting for her
And it's cruel to keep her from my love like a fool
She's makin' plans while i'm in bed
She says i love you when i least expect it
She holds it together through stormy weather
But she never asks do you love me back
But i just tell her that
I'm not the one she needs
She needs someone who knows how to make her see
That there's a world out there that's waiting for her
And it's cruel to keep her from my love like a fool
Well i wish i could love like she does
But i feel like a fool who plays it cool
When baby i want you
She's working late
That's how she plays
But i am at home
I'm feeling stray all the day
I hear the door unlock
The dogs don't even bark
Then in my angel walks
And my heart begins to talk
And then i tell her that
I am the one she needs
I am the one who knows how to make her see
That there's a man at home
Who's waiting on her
And he's been cruel for keeping back his love like a fool
Well then i tell her
I am the one she needs
I am the one who knows how to make her see
That there's a man at home
Hell he's waiting on her
And he's been cruel for keeping back his love like a fool.
