lyrics

I kick around
I walk so heavy on my feet
Solid ground ain't nothing but a thing for me
Until you drag me in the sand
Attack my knees

You're nothing but a fortress of lies, darling
Lie down and tell me what you want
Tell me what you want me to be

We walk around
You tell me someone's digging me
But I want to see that shovel in your hands
But all you got is a whole lot of questions
Little questions
For me
By love alone, my answers captivate your mind

I can't change a thing
I've been thinking about you
And everything you want
I can't change a thing
I've been thinking about you
And everything you are
I can't change a thing
I've been thinking about you
And everything you want
I can't change a thing
I've been thinking about you
And everything you are

I've got a problem with girls
Man, they confuse me
Am I everything that she wants from me
Well she amused, she abused, she did both to me
And the girl that could free my soul
Is a pain but I need her musically

I've got a problem with words
When I'm around her
Hey, hey, what'd you say
Let's throw another party
And maybe I'll tell her there
I will say the words that could free my soul
I say it all, but it's at the wrong time

I've got a problem with boys
They misuse me
I like them bad - it's a well known fact
If you show me love, I'll send it back
And the boy that could free my soul
Gonna snap like a cap under my toe
