I'm Someone Who Loves You Lyrics - The Roches

What if your father has a stroke 

When you are ten then sits like a rag doll 

Wheelchair in the den 

You start failing school 

Breaking every rule 

Pretty soon you're a bum 

Then one day you meet a girl at first sight 

You both stand speechless 

In the hall through the night 

What ever happened to her 

There are traces of what she were 

She wanted to be a nun 

Both of you begin to cautiously 

Whisper words, you sit together chirping 

Little tiny love birds 

Who knows what you said 

If only you could touch her in bed 

She certainly is the one 

Time passes by and you ruin it 

Before your eyes you are losing it 

How can you get what you need from her 

Now you become just a weed to her 

I'm someone who loves you 

That was years ago 

Now the New Mexico hills 

You sometimes describe to her 

Heavy telephone bills, she lives way back east 

Says can't you keep in touch at least 

But you don't call her up 

Deep in the heart of the life you live 

Tenderly you treasure 

Every kiss that you give 

Don't think about her much 

You kicked away that crutch 

So you could walk alone 

By now you know you can't ruin it 

It's just that one day you stop doin' it 

I'm someone who loves you! 

I'm someone who loves you!
