You wrestle with the morning
like a fish upon the sand
Throw fits and stomp around the house
with clenched and hungry hands
But you know how much I love you
and I'd rather fall apart
Then spend another second
And the one who brings you flowers
Is the one who brings you home
Cause you gotta think for fellas
And he'll take you back to his house
and talk the birds and bees
When all you want is someone
The first thing I tell ya
is trouble from the start
You can dress me up, take me,
but I never played the part
But your friends all seem to like me
At least we're not around
We're thick as thieves, oh,
My friends all run in circles,
on the wrong side of the track
And they will kick and fight
they ain't ever looking back
And if that's okay with you, my dear,
if it doesn't turn you around
we're thick as thieves, oh -oh
I guess that means that you and me,
I am a handful, I keep you up at night
But if you leave your door open
You can look me in the eye
and send me straight again
myself together every day
just a little bit of love on my way
Ain't sayin' I'm a keeper,
Cause I bet my bottom dollar
I have a handful to keep you up at night
But if you leave your door open,
And when I come home quiet,
You can look me in the eyes
myself together every day
just a little bit of love on my way
I ain't sayin' I'ma leave you,
I ain't ever doubtin' that
I'll give you hope at night
But if you leave me alone,
it's funny, it could be alright
And when the cold wind blowin'
You could put me in the house
And maybe that's the one thing
just a little bit of love on my way
I ain't pretty, you love me,
I'm a pretty girl, so leave me alone
