lyrics

Well I am me and she is she
But who are we when you put us together?
‘Cause I can’t say just when it came
But she’s been grey and I’m in for nasty weather
‘Cause she’s a hurricane when she starts to form
I got to hit the floor just to keep from blowin’ out the door
And she’s the last stop on an endless train that’s goin’
Nowhere fast the kind of thing that drives a man insane

Well I been tryin’ to find a girl that gets me high
But I been losin’ my mind ‘cause she wants me to take the love test
I know I’m bound to slip she’s gonna throw a fit
But if I try to quit I’m gonna find myself in a big mess
‘Cause she’s an earthquake when she starts to shake
She breaks the water main and I’m the man flushin’ down the drain
And she’s a free ride on a ferry boat that went down off shore
‘Cause the life vests were made of solid gold

You say you wanna know
You say you wanna know just how far I’ll go
Honey why can’t you just ask me please?
Ain’t no need to put me on my hands and knees
Darlin’ can’t you see?
Just take a look girl at what you’ve done to me
And I don’t wanna be your fire drill
Don’t wanna be spit fire flyin’ the flames of hell

Well if you want to play the part
Then you can start by signin’ off expectation
Because I am me and I got to be so if you don’t see
Then don’t send me an invitation
‘Cause she’s a wildfire on the news at six
And I’m the man with the house that went up
Like a book of match sticks
And she’s a night flight on the red-eye plane that went
Down in the ocean where nobody’d ever even go to see the flames

So if you play the game
Play your game and honey I’ll be on my way
‘Cause love ain’t made to be your bed of nails
Pin me up and I’ll be headin’ straight for the rails
Just say that you’ll be mine
And honey I do believe that’ll do just fine
So long as you’ll be goin’ my way
And if you ain’t, well that’ll have to do just the same
