The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So you think the girl is crazy
She eat up your lies like it's good
(Your lies like apple pie)
She don't even cry
She is not a fool
She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to
To love you
And as you take to the wind
(To the wind again she breaks down)
And as she breaks down within
(Within, within)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
All she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen if you let her
(Just say the word today)
Oh you let her
(Build the world around her)
Now and then you'll promise
All the way out things, you're goin' to get her
(You will see, you will see)
'Cause maybe she knows better
(You're so damn glad you found her, found her, years ago)
As she watched you come and go
(All you'll show)
And as she watched your promises erode
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
That all she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
All she really wants is you
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
Can't you see you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want the girl to do
