She don't want to catch my gaze Doesn't trust what her eyes might say Doesn't think that we'll see things through Most boys look the other way Two pools like a crystal blue Bet I drown before I learn to float Taught these pupils a thing or two Love lessons from a broken home But while there's a beat in my chest I just don't, do not understand Why I'm the only man Believe in me Bonnie Believe in me Bonnie White flag, surrender easy White dove she could fall to peaches I could tell her anything she wants But it might as well be God cuz she won't believe it Street smart and a little defeatist And no dumb luck but a lot of feelings She don't need the words I'm speaking She needs somebody to hear her reasons Cuz she don't believe in nothing If she cannot touch it And you cannot clutch All the love that I claim She can hear the words I say But hearts can break and they can't be blamed Cuz she don't believe in someone If she cannot trust them And tomorrow is something But it's not today
It isn't that she doesn't have faith She's just smart enough to know that people change But while there's a beat in my chest While there's a breath in my lungs I just don't, do not understand Why I'm the only man Believe in me Bonnie Believe in me Bonnie I just don't, do not understand Why I'm the only man Believe in me Bonnie Believe in me Bonnie She's the one, I can tell by all our days In the setting sun and its final dying rays And the things I want and the way in which they've changed And the moments gone and the ones we've yet to face Yes some have run, but I will be here in the end If the end should come, and here is where she rests her head And you'll find me there is she will have me by her bed And I'm the man I hope I'll learn to be by then Then I'll remain here I just don't, do not understand Why I'm the only man Believe in me Bonnie Believe in me Bonnie I just don't, do not understand Why I'm the only man Believe in me Bonnie Believe in me Bonnie
