Bonnie Lyrics - Bonnie - Chance Waters

She don't want to catch my gaze 

Doesn't trust what her eyes might say 

Doesn't think that we'll see things through 

Most boys look the other way 

Two pools like a crystal blue 

Bet I drown before I learn to float 

Taught these pupils a thing or two 

Love lessons from a broken home 

But while there's a beat in my chest 

I just don't, do not understand 

Why I'm the only man 

Believe in me Bonnie 

Believe in me Bonnie 

White flag, surrender easy 

White dove she could fall to peaches 

I could tell her anything she wants 

But it might as well be God cuz she won't believe it 

Street smart and a little defeatist 

And no dumb luck but a lot of feelings 

She don't need the words I'm speaking 

She needs somebody to hear her reasons 

Cuz she don't believe in nothing 

If she cannot touch it 

And you cannot clutch 

All the love that I claim 

She can hear the words I say 

But hearts can break and they can't be blamed 

Cuz she don't believe in someone 

If she cannot trust them 

And tomorrow is something 

But it's not today 

It isn't that she doesn't have faith 

She's just smart enough to know that people change 

But while there's a beat in my chest 

While there's a breath in my lungs 

I just don't, do not understand 

Why I'm the only man 

Believe in me Bonnie 

Believe in me Bonnie 

I just don't, do not understand 

Why I'm the only man 

Believe in me Bonnie 

Believe in me Bonnie 

She's the one, I can tell by all our days 

In the setting sun and its final dying rays 

And the things I want and the way in which they've changed 

And the moments gone and the ones we've yet to face 

Yes some have run, but I will be here in the end 

If the end should come, and here is where she rests her head 

And you'll find me there is she will have me by her bed 

And I'm the man I hope I'll learn to be by then 

Then I'll remain here 

I just don't, do not understand 

Why I'm the only man 

Believe in me Bonnie 

Believe in me Bonnie 

I just don't, do not understand 

Why I'm the only man 

Believe in me Bonnie 

Believe in me Bonnie
