lyrics

“I’d do anything for you”
I said sincerely
Before you laughed right in my face
I was naked in your arms
You said “you piceans
Are such a bloody disgrace”
Was I speaking from my heart
Or speaking from my hard on?
Maybe both, I beg your pardon
I get carried away you see
But you’ll make an honest man of me

“I’d do anything for you”
You SMS’d me
With an asterisk attached
Piece by piece you let me in
You say you’re learning how
To keep your heart unlatched
And the footnote to your asterisk read:
“Within reason”
You’ll never lie just to be pleasing
With you only get honesty
And you’ll make an honest man of me

I’d do anything for love
Just when it floors me
Like the way it has with you
But I’m old enough to know
That there’s a part of me
I’ve got to hold on to
And you’re bold enough to tell me
You need time without me
So you don’t drown
It’s not about me
We will find our way tenderly
Now you see
You’re making an honest man of me
