Won’t you give me just a minute here for heaven’s sake
Got Mother Nature burning at the stake
Out here slicing up the cake
Like pigs in clover
Wanna soar wanna glide wanna run with the breeze
In circumstances such as these
It’s enough to keep your sky from folding over
Oh boy won’t you give it up
All night like the needle got stuck
D’you ever stop
Just once could you lighten up
You want it all with a cherry on top
I wonder what
You’re so frightened of
Girl I love it you’re so free from care
You see the good in people everywhere
While me I stare but all I see
Are the same patterns
Got a smile in your eyes keeping me arm’s length
If you ain’t got the guile then what use is strength
You’re running rings round me like Saturn
Oh boy won’t you give it up
All night like the needle got stuck
D’you ever stop
Comes a time when it’s kicking off
Ding ding really cutting up rough
Are you man enough
To say it soft
I’m tired of living for things that I just can’t touch
A penny for your thoughts you’re not saying much
You were never one to sugar coat it
Well damn this melody yeah damn this tune
Damn the lyric running round my head all afternoon
Damn the swooning sentimental tunesmith wrote it
Oh boy won’t you give it up
All night like the needle got stuck
D’you ever stop
Comes a time when it’s getting rough
Ding ding really kicking off
Are you man enough
To say it soft
Boy listen up
I heard quite enough
Of this fighting talk baby
Boy listen up
I heard quite enough
Of this fighting talk
And I wonder what
I wonder what
You’re so frightened of baby
I wonder what
I wonder what
I wonder what
Oh boy won’t you give it up
All night like the needle got stuck
D’you ever stop, d’you ever stop, d’you ever
Comes a time when it’s getting rough
Ding ding really kicking off
Are you man enough
Are you man enough
To say it soft
To say it soft
