verse 1
You never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why
I never thought that so much trouble rested on my reply
Pre-Chorus
I could tell it was the nights when I was lonely
That you were the only one who'd talk
I could tell you that I liked your sensitivity
But you know it's the way you walk
Chorus
Why do you have to say there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
Won't make me a miracle man?
verse 2
Baby's got to 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
Pre-Chorus
And I'm doing everything just trying to please her
Even crawling 'round on all fours
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
But she still seems to want for more
Chorus
Why do you have to say there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
Won't make me a miracle man?
Instrumental
verse 3
Never give you a bad reputation
Just because you never been denied
You're trying to say you've done it all before, babe
You know that you just get tired
Pre-Chorus
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl
I just don't know how you stand the strain
Oh, I'm the one who's here tonight
And I don't wanna do it all in vain
Chorus
Why do you have to say there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But don't you think that I know that walking on water
Won't make me a miracle man?
