What Do You Want The Girl To Do Lyrics - Singles - Scaggs Boz

(Allan Toussaint) 

(so...) 

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 t 

ake to the wind 

(to the wind again she breaks down) 

And as she breaks down within (within, within) 

Pre-chorus: 

She waits for you patiently 

Hopin' that someday you'll see 

[ That] all she really wants to be 

Is yours and your 

s alone, eternally 

Chorus: 

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 

ybe she knows better 

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

And as she watched your promises erode 

[repeat pre-chorus] 

[repeat chorus] 

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 [fade]
