Intro verse 1 You never asked me what I wanted, you only asked me why I never thought that so much trouble rested on my reply Pre-Chorus I could tell it was the nights when I was lonely That you were the only one who'd talk I could tell you that I liked your sensitivity But you know it's the way you walk Chorus Why do you have to say there's always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don't you think that I know that walking on water Won't make me a miracle man? verse 2 Baby's got to have the things she wants You know she's gotta have the things she loves She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder And her black patent leather gloves Pre-Chorus And I'm doing everything just trying to please her Even crawling 'round on all fours Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy But she still seems to want for more Chorus Why do you have to say there's always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don't you think that I know that walking on water Won't make me a miracle man? Instrumental verse 3 Never give you a bad reputation Just because you never been denied You're trying to say you've done it all before, babe You know that you just get tired Pre-Chorus Yet everybody loves you so much, girl I just don't know how you stand the strain Oh, I'm the one who's here tonight And I don't wanna do it all in vain Chorus Why do you have to say there's always someone Who can do it better than I can? But don't you think that I know that walking on water Won't make me a miracle man? Outro
