What Do You Want The Boy To Do? Songtext
von Bonnie Raitt

One, two, three
Hey

So you think the man is crazy
He eats up your lies
Like they′re good for him
Apple pie, he don't even cry

He′s not a fool
He's just tryin' to do
What his heart says to
To love you

As you take to the wind
To the wind again my friend
As he breaks down within
Within, within, within
He waits for you patiently
Hopin′ that one day you′ll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally


What do you want the boy to do? (What do you want the boy to do?)
Don't you see you′re breaking the child in two? (Don't you see you′re breaking the child in two?)
What do you want the boy to do? (What do you want the boy to do?)
All he really wants is you

And he knows just what you are
But still he'll be ur King darling
Saved the world today
But you know better
You don′t go around him

Now and then you promise
All the way out things that you're gonna get
You will see, you will be
So damn glad that you finally found him (free to go)

As he watches you come and go
Or you show
As he watched you promise a zero (a zero, zero, zero)
He waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you′ll see
That all he really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone eternally


What do you want the boy to do? (Yeah,yeah, yeah)
Don′t you see you're breaking the child in two?
What do you want the boy to do? (What do you want the boy)
Don′t you see that you're breaking the child in two? (Don′t you see that you're breaking the child in two?)
Oh-o-oh, yeah

Oh-o-oh
Oh-o-oh (oh-o-oh)
Oh-o-oh (oh-o-oh)
Oh-o-oh
Thank
Thank you, we gat to go
