You never asked me what I wanted


You only asked me why


I never thought that so much trouble


Was restin' on my reply


I could say it was the rights when I was lonely


And you were the only one who'd come


I could tell you that I like your sensitivity


When you know it's the way that you walk





(CHORUS) Why do you have to say there there's always someone


Who can do it better than I can?


But don't you think that I know that walking on the water


Won't make me a miracle man?





Baby's gotta have the things she wants


You know she's gotta have the things she loves


She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder


And her black patent leather gloves


And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her


Even crawling around on all fours


Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy


But she still seems to want for more





(REPEAT CHORUS)


Oh yeah





Never given you a bad reputation


Just because you've never been denied


You try to say you've done it all before


Baby, you know that you just get tired


Yet everybody loves you so much, girl


I just don't know how you stand the strain


Oh I-I'm the one who's here tonight


And I don't wanna do it all in vain





(REPEAT CHORUS)


Oh yeah


A miracle man


(REPEAT AND FADE)
