Lyrics

WHAT SHE WANTS

I like to get up and go, to have something to do
She likes taking it slowly and sleeping 'til two
I like a roll in the hay thrice a day if I can
She likes hugging and kissing and holding my hand

She likes tofu and brown rice, no grease hits her lips
I like burgers and white bread and chicken and chips
I like Gilly and Haydos when they're smashing the Poms
She likes Alex and Evan on The Secret Life Of Us

I've been good I've been sweet I've been kind and fair
I've been changing my life just to show I care
I even say some nice things when she cuts her hair

But its not quite what she wants
I don't know what she wants

She likes sunshine and stillness and thirty degrees
I like cold wind and storm fronts and no more than sixteen
She likes fashion and shopping and cool clothes to wear
I'd be still dressing eighties if it wasn't for her

I've been trying to be not so out to lunch
I've been trying to learn her but I'm a dunce
I even change the bedsheets at least once a month

But its not quite what she wants
I don't know what she wants

So am I a white knight or am I a clown?
Do I deserve to wake up next to her?
Will she see through me or is she sick of me
'Cos I'm not quite what she wants
So I sleep in my cave when I'm feeling tired
So I can't see the milk right before my eyes
I could be more like her if I really tried

But I like to build things, she likes to shop
She likes sweet folk and I like hard rock
She laughs loud at me, when I get upset
So i just can't work out why.....
I love her to death
