What Do You Want The Girl To Do? Lyrics - Geoff Muldaur

So you think the girl is crazy 

To 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 

(to the wind again she breaks down) 

And as she breaks down within (within, within) 

She waits for you patiently 

Hopin' 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 

[Can't you see] 

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) 

(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago) 

Cause ma she knows better 

As she watched you come and go (all you'll show) 

And as she watched your promises erode 

She waits for you patiently 

Hopin' 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 

[Can't you see] 

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) 

(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago) 

'Cause ma she knows better 

As she watched you come and go (all you'll show) 

And as she watched your promises erode 

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
