LOVE SONG FOR LIZA

She is riding a letter
onto your mind.
She is making an appointment
to hold you at night.
You'd invite her to come up,
but your tongue is tied.
She has something to tell you,
looks you square in the eyes.

She can't control it, boss,
just woke up one day,
all of a sudden,
all she wanted was your name.

She can't control it, boss,
and she wouldn't if she could.
Trust me, this is for your own good.

I don't need a surgeon
to find my heart.
She's knows you're not perfect,
but you're a start.
Life is tiring,
you wake her up.
We are all in the oven,
she is overdone.

She can't control it, boss,
just woke up one day,
all of a sudden,
all she wanted was your name.

She can't control it, boss,
and she wouldn't if she could.
Trust us, this is for your own good.

This is me breaking a wishbone
over the open road,
over an earth that's rolling
like the days unfold.
I am hiding a weapon,
excised a birthmark.
Everyone is an expert,
and we are all in the dark.

She can't control it, boss,
just woke up one day,
all of a sudden,
all she wanted was your name.

She can't control it, boss,
and she wouldn't if she could.
Trust me, this is for your own good.

If it's information you want,
I ain't your tree.
I ain't a cat neither,
take your bark and leave.
Some of us are made a little different,
but we all have things to do.
I have places to become,
if it's all the same to you.

She can't control it, boss,
just woke up one day,
all of a sudden,
all she wanted was your name.

She can't control it, boss,
and she wouldn't if she could.
Trust us, this is for your own good.

Drawing up sorrow.
Put a word in my mouth.
Put a hole in his bucket.
Let there be no doubt,
steeping in an eddy,
when time runs by,
the wind is rowing,
be mine be mine.

She can't control it, boss,
just woke up one day,
all of a sudden,
all she wanted was your name.

She can't control it, boss,
and she wouldn't if she could.
Trust me, this is for your own good.
