You didn't ask me what I wanted
you only asked me why
I never thought that so much trouble was rested on my reply.
I could say it was the nights when I was lonley
and you were the only one who'd talk
I could say that I like your sensativity
but baby it's the way you walk
oh, why do you have to say that there's always someone
who can do it better than I can?
girl don't you think that I know that
walkin' on the water won't make me a miracle man?
oh baby's gotta have the things she wants
you know she's got to have the things she loves
she's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
and her black patent leather gloves
and I'm doin' everythin' just tryin' to plese her
even walkin' 'round on all fours
oh I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
but ya still seem to want for more.
oh, why do you have to say that there's always someone
who can do it better than I can?
girl don't you think that I know that
walkin' on the water won't make me a miracle man?
you know seven men that wanna be monkeys
and six that never get denied
and five that say they've done it all before
and four that say they just get tired
and three of the handsomest men in the country
and two that can do it again and again
but I'm the one who's here tonight
and I don't wanna do it all in vain.
oh, why do you have to say that there's always someone
who can do it better than I can?
girl don't you think that I know that
walkin' on the water won't make me a miracle man?
