Look Me In The Eye That Way

Baby–come on
I’ll thank you
Later–on
When I am dry
Baby–come on
Let’s say we
Get down to doin’ what you know we do best

Baby-let me
Destroy a myth
I would not thrive
On a desert isle
But I need somethin to
Call my own-

Just as long as
You look me in the eye that way
I can handle anything
As long as-
You look me in the eye that way
I can handle just about anything
I can handle anything at all

Baby when they make you
Fill those papers out
Just in case
You don’t pull through
I gotta admit
Makes you stop and think
What have I done, ‘n what do I wanna do

Sometimes I think
I could walk through fire
Other times I crawl away
And hide my desire
Right now I could just
Follow anything
Fall apart, fall through the cracks

If there’s a God
I won’t waste your time
Don’t need miracles
Don’t show me no sign
Just make my body
And my mind
Healthy and strong, til I have to die

Baby come on
I’m here now
Tomorrow the sky could
Just be full of clouds
The ground is shakin
My heart is breakin
With everything so full of doubt

Just as long as
You look me in the eye that way
I can handle anything
As long as
You look me in the eye that way
I can handle just about anything
I can handle anything at all
