What Do You Want the Girl to Do Songtext

von Allen Toussaint

So you think the woman's crazy
She eat up your lies
Like it's good, your lies like apple pie
She don't even cry
She is not a fool
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
To love you
As you take to the wind
To the wind again she breaks down
As she breaks down within
Within, within, within
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
That all she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do?
Don't you know, you're breakin' the child in two?
What do you want the girl to do?
All she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen if you let her
Will you say the word 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 see, [Incomprehensible] she knows better
You're so damn glad you found her, found her free to go
As she watched you come and go for your show
And as she watched your promises erode
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
That all she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do?
Don't you know, you're breakin' the child in two?
What do you want the girl to do?
All she really wants is you
What do you want the girl to do?
Can't you see, you're breakin' the child in two?
What do you want the girl to do?
