The Difference (Goshdamn) - Caroline Jones

I said «why do you chase me so

When you know I won’t give in?»

He paused at me, his eyes narrowed

Said «I can’t help it (you little bitch!)»

And so he listened while I told

And he answered when I asked

And with the stories of my soul

He drew a map

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

He breathes embers into sparks

Just to keep my body warm at night

Takes the temperature of my heart

And keeps the stars I hang my dreams on in his sight

& I will go to any length

To live up to the strength he knows I have

I will travel any route

To give up doubt of the woman he knows I am

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

Lord knows only time will tell

If ever I’ll blush for someone else

He compels me with his heartfelt

Honesty unparalleled

He peers around my learning curve

Calls me on my shortsighted nerve

Knows me better than I know myself

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

He doesn’t do what I want when I want it

But he does what I need when I need it

Gosh damn, somehow that man, he knows the difference

He doesn’t follow where I walk

But if I turn, he will be there

How can a man who’s such a rock

Be lighter than the air?
