Lyrics
When will you love me for what I am and not what I am around.
When will your arms hold more than a greeting and
When will your words be sweeter than most
When will I be free from your courtesy?
Are you what you do? (no, no, no, no, no)
Are you what you say? (no, no, no, no, no)
But you’ll fix your lips and eyes and show me a smile when I
Look
Your
Way
Can we move past the please and thank yous
Why does your clench come with pats on the back?
Do I need a boost in my ego
Or are you speaking to me in morse code?
Why does talk of travel twirl your hair?
Should we talk more of houses and boats?
Do I depreciate in value
If I use my arms to open doors?
Are you what you do? (no, no, no, no, no)
Are you what you say? (no, no, no, no, no)
But you’ll fix your lips and eyes and show me a smile when I
Look
Your
Way
When will you love me for what I am and not what I am around.
When will your arms hold more than a greeting and
When will your hands be covered in rust?
When will I be free from your courtesy?
