lyrics

I’m not trying to disconnect you
From all the things you hold dear
I’m just trying to protect you
From all the things you’ve always feared

And I’ll try not to use words too hard for you to understand
And I’ll try not to shape chords too hard to play
Girl you know it pays to have these hands

Well am I egotistical
Is he the one you’ve been wishin for
Well kiss him in the bright moonlight
In your arms you hold him tight

Well he must have something I don’t got, I won’t fight
Why don’t you run away with him
I’ll buy your bus ticket tonight

I’m not trying to disconnect you
From all the things you hold dear
I’m just trying to protect you
From all the things you’ve always feared
