What Do You Want the Girl to Do Songtext
von Boz Scaggs

So you think the girl′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
And as you take to the wind again
(To the wind again she breaks down)
And as she breaks down within
(Within, within)

She waits for you patiently,
Hoping 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
(Just say the word today)
(Build the 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)
Still she knows better
(So damn glad you found out about her
Don't leave the girl)
As she watch you come and go
(For your show)
And as she watch your promises erode

She waits for you patiently,
Hoping 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
Can′t you see 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
Don′t you know you're breakin′
The child in two
What do you want the girl to do
Can't you see you′re breakin'
The child in two
