The Roches - I'm Someone Who Loves You lyrics

what if your father has a stroke

when you are ten

then sits like a rag doll

wheelchair in the den

you start failing school

breaking every rule

pretty soon you're a bum

then one day you meet a girl

at first sight

you both stand speechless

in the hall through the night

what ever happened to her

there are traces of what she were

she wanted to be a nun

both of you begin to cautiously

whisper words

you sit together chirping

little tiny love birds

who knows what you said

if only you could touch her in bed

she certainly is the one

time passes by and you ruin it

before your eyes you are losing it

how can you get what you need from her

now you become just a weed to her

i'm someone who loves you!

that was years ago

now the new mexico hills

you sometimes describe to her

heavy telephone bills

she lives way back east

says can't you keep in touch at least

but you don't call her up

deep in the heart

of the life you live

tenderly you treasure

every kiss that you give

don't think about her much

you kicked away that crutch

so you could walk alone

by now you know you can't ruin it

it's just that one day you stop doin' it

i'm someone who loves you!

i'm someone who loves you!
