Lyrics
0:08You never asked me what I wanted
0:12You only asked me why
0:16I never thought that so much trouble was restin' on my reply
0:23I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
0:27And you were the only one who'd come
0:31I could tell you that I like your sensitivity
0:36When you know it's the way that you walk
0:39Why do you have to say that there's always someone
0:43Who can do it better than I can
0:47But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
0:51Won't make me a miracle man
0:55Baby's gotta have the things she wants
0:59You know she's gotta have the things she loves
1:03She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
1:07And her black patent leather gloves
1:11And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her
1:15Even crawling around on all fours
1:18Oh I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
1:23But she still seems to want for more
1:27Why do you have to say that there's always someone
1:31Who can do it better than I can
1:35But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
1:39Won't make me a miracle man
1:52I hear they're givin' you a bad reputation
1:54Just because you've never been denied
1:59You try to say you've done it all before
2:03Baby you know that you just get tired
2:07Yet everybody loves you so much girl
2:10I just don't know how you stand the strain
2:14Oh I I'm the one who's here tonight
2:18And I don't wanna do it all in vain
2:23Why do you have to say that there's always someone
2:26Who can do it better than I can
2:31But don't you think that I know that walking on the water
2:34Won't make me a miracle man
2:54Miracle man
2:58Miracle man
3:02Miracle man
3:06Miracle man
You never asked me what I wanted You only asked me why I never thought that so much trouble was restin' on my reply I could say it was the nights when I was lonely And you were the only one who'd come I could tell you that I like your sensitivity When you know it's the way that you walk Why do you have to say that there's always someone Who can do it better than I can But don't you think that I know that walking on the water Won't make me a miracle man Baby's gotta 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 And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her Even crawling around on all fours Oh I thought by now that it was gonna be easy But she still seems to want for more Why do you have to say that there's always someone Who can do it better than I can But don't you think that I know that walking on the water Won't make me a miracle man I hear they're givin' you a bad reputation Just because you've never been denied You try to say you've done it all before Baby you know that you just get tired Yet everybody loves you so much girl I just don't know how you stand the strain Oh I I'm the one who's here tonight And I don't wanna do it all in vain Why do you have to say that there's always someone Who can do it better than I can But don't you think that I know that walking on the water Won't make me a miracle man Miracle man Miracle man Miracle man Miracle man
