Miracle Man Lyrics - My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

You never asked me what I wanted 

You only asked me why 

I never thought that so much 

Trouble was restin' on my reply 

I could say it was the nights when I was lonely 

And you were the only one who'd come 

I could tell you that I like your sensitivity 

When you know it's the way that you walk 

Why do you have to say 

That there's always someone 

Who can do it better than I can? 

But don't you think that I know 

That walking on the water 

Won't make me a miracle man?

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Baby's gotta have the things she wants 

You know she's gotta have the things she loves 

She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder 

And her black patent leather gloves 

And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her 

Even crawling around on all fours 

Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy 

But she still seems to want for more 

Why do you have to say 

That there's always someone 

Who can do it better than I can? 

But don't you think that I know 

That walking on the water 

Won't make me a miracle man? 

I hear they're givin' you a bad reputation 

Just because you've never been denied 

You try to say you've done it all before 

Baby, you know that you just get tired 

Photos 

Yet everybody loves you so much, girl 

I just don't know how you stand the strain 

Oh, I, I'm the one who's here tonight 

And I don't wanna do it all in vain 

Why do you have to say 

That there's always someone 

Who can do it better than I can? 

But don't you think that I know 

That walking on the water 

Won't make me a miracle man?
