If It's What She Wants
If It's What She Wants
Met her in my High School days
Enchanted by her wildchild ways
Married her in early life
Remains my still enchanting wife
Now heads are grey
No kids around these days
The pace of life more slow
But still the subtle fires glow
I'm not the best that I could be
But she doesn't hold it over me
So if it's what she wants
She gets it
If it's in my hand to give
She gets it
If it's what she needs
I'll give it
If it's what it takes to keep her
If it's what it takes to hold her
I'll give her my last breath -
If it's what it takes to have her all the time,
If it's what it takes to know she'll always be mine,
I'll hold her down to death.
I know I drink too much
Sometimes fall out of touch
Sometimes I don't know who I am
Sometimes I don't even have a plan
But the girl stays with me anyway
Meets the issues day by day
Sees somethin' in me - I don't know
Whatever it is, for her it shows
No longer Once-Upon-A-Time
I'm not the young Blade in his Prime
But if it's what she wants
She gets it
If it's in my hand to give
She gets it
If it's what she needs
I'll give it
If it's what it takes to keep her living in my life,
If it's what it takes to hold her as my one and only wife
I'll give her my last breath -
If it's what it takes to have her
If it's what it takes to know her
I'll hold her down to death.
Now the years are few
Not the easy world we knew
Twilight hours in waning life
She remains my yet beloved wife
Why she loves me I don't know
She goes on undiscouraged though
I'll never be more than what I am
Her simple, stupid, loving man
Accept the truth of what I say
Keep the faith now, day by day
If it's what she wants
She gets it
If it's in my hand to give
She gets it
If it's what she needs
I'll give it
If it's what it takes to keep her here within my heart,
If it's what it takes to hold her so we'll never part,
I'll give her my last breath -
If it's what it takes to have her
If it's what it takes to know her
I'll hold her down to death.
