How could she look so fine
How could it be she might be mine
How could she be so cool
I've been taken for a fool so many times
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes it turn
And leaves a broken man

How could she be so cool
How could she be so fine
I owe a favor to a friend
My friends they always come through for me, yeah
It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can
Just to be a man who stands on his own
But the book always burns as the story takes it turn
And leaves a broken man
If you could only live my life
You could see the difference you make to me, to me

I'd look right up at night and all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright, I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house, yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you, yeah, I think you know where that comes from

Well I'd look right up at night and all I'd see was darkness
Now I see the stars alright, I wanna reach right up and grab one for you
When the lights went down in your house, yeah that made me happy
The sweat I make for you, I think you know where that comes from

How could she look so good, so good
How could she be so fine
How could she be so cool
How could it be she might be mine
