Greg Brown - Steady Love lyrics

She wants your pa**ion, your caress She wants your hands on her and a soulful kiss But she's lookin' for more than just that, son Gotta be somethin' under all the good times and fun Oh steady love, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love She might like flowers, might like a poem Might like it better if you were home And cooked with her and did a little dance Where the kitchen is happy, love has a chance Oh steady love, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love She's seen the cool boys hangin' around With their sad dark eyes they never settle down They might've written books or made CDs for the shelves But they mostly just think about themselves She wants steady love, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love When the kids are cryin' and the bills are due And you wonder what you have gotten into And you think the whole deal is not to be Give her steady love, you'll find out how hot a woman can be Steady love, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love I've heard men say, "Well look at that She's such a babe, he's kinda dull, a little fat" He must know something about kind and fair When she needs somebody, the man is there He gives her steady love, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love Mmmm, steady love When the chips are down The kind she can be sure of Oh steady love (Repeat, repeat) I can't stop!
