And I can't nail down the feeling in this song without a reason
'Cause the hollow words I'm singing are for you
And I keep trying to remember all those little things you told me
When you'd hold me
"Baby, I can't give you all I'd like to
But everything you'd need, I will provide you
And if you feel the world outside denies you
I will fight away the loneliness and emptiness that bind you
From this world, I'll never hide you
'Til the day my arms you'll slide through, baby boy
One of these days the world is gonna find you
And take you away from me
The lights are gonna blind you
Gonna make you complete
A girl is gonna hurt you
A woman's gonna set your heart on fire
Your heart on fire"
And if I nail down the feeling, still this song's without a reason
'Cause the hollow words I'm singing just for you
And I keep trying to remember all the little things you showed me
When you'd hold me
I close my eyes for a little while
I'm a child, you're beside me
And you're singing...
"Baby, I can't always be beside you
But everything you'd need, I will provide you
And if you'd feel the world outside denies you
I will fight away the loneliness and emptiness that bind you
From this world, I'll never hide you
'Til the day my arms you'll slide through, baby boy
One of these days the world is gonna find you
And take you away from me
The lights are gonna blind you
Gonna make you complete
A girl is gonna hurt you
A woman's gonna set your heart on fire
Your heart on fire
And even when you've left me far behind you
No one's gonna love you like I do"
