well she walks with a lisp and she talks with a sway i wonder if i’ll ever figure out someday how to wrap her in my fingertips and fly her far away watch her lashes flutter when she finds a place to stay ask her what you might and she’ll tell ya what ya may i figure it’s another method just another way to tie a handsome bow around what else she wants to say and tip toe past the water to the steeple of the bay but she don’t really need my help i just hope that she enjoys my company she was always gonna save herself i keep thinking that she does but she don’t need me sleep soft baby sleep soft and just tell me which way to run sleep soft baby sleep soft and just tell me which way to point my gun mmm i wanna knock out the teeth of every single boy she meets just to make sure they know that she’s stronger than me i wanna hug her from behind 100 million times til she forgets about the index fingers and the slime until she forgets where she came from and leaves me with the pillow and my frame numb until she forgets where she came from but she ain’t ever gone forget where the pain comes from and maybe she don’t wanna forget she told me she ain’t ever had a single regret and maybe any many that’s ever fuckin wronged her has only ever made her fuckin stronger maybe any man that’s ever fuckin wronged her has only ever made her fuckin stronger . . .
