Bonnie Raitt - What Do You Want The Boy To Do? Lyrics
What Do You Want The Boy To Do?From Home Plate, Bonnie RaittSo you think the man is crazy?He eats up your liesLike theyre good for him.Apple pie - he dont even cry.Hes not a fool -Hes just tryin to do what his heart says to,To love you.As you take to the wind,(to the wind again my friend)As he breaks down within,(within, within within)he waits for you patientlyHoping that one day youll seeThat all he really wants to beIs yours and yours alone eternally.(What do you want the boy to do?Dont you see youre breaking the child in two.What do you want the boy to do?)All he really wants is you.He knows what you areStill hell be your king.(Say the word today)You know better.Build your world around himNow and then you promiseAll the way-out thingsthat youre going to give to him(You will seeyou will beSo damn glad that you finally found him.)(Free the boy) * best guessAs he watches you come and go(for your soul) * best guessAs he watches your promises erode(erode, erode, erode)he waits for you patientlyHoping that one day youll seeThat all he really wants to beIs yours and yours alone eternally.(What do you want the boy to do?Dont you see youre breaking the child in two.What do you want the boy to do?Dont you see that youre breaking the child in two.What do you want the boy to do?Dont you see that youre breaking the child in two.What do you want the boy to do?Dont you see that youre breaking the child in two.)
