It's taken so long
So long to be
Measure the man
I hoped I would be
I take a step forward
I take two steps back
I can't help but be bored
Unless I'm on the attack
And attacking's alright
We were up on the hill
Where the blueberries grow
With time to kill
I started to fall
And it got
Hard to breathe
And it got
Hard to relax
Hard to face yourself
When you're still busy
Looking back
And attacking's alright
My love please understand
My love please understand
We're alone in this world
Doing all we can
To find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
'Cause it's getting cold
Honey please
Try to understand
It's time
To love
Your man
I met a blonde girl
She took me into her bed
I wanted her body
She wanted me dead
On a cool summer evening
I awoke from a dream
Scared of something that was
Inside of me
My love please understand
Jessie my love please understand
We're alone in this world
Every woman every man
Trying to find somebody
To love and to hold
With a good warm heart
'Cause it's getting cold
Honey please
Try to understand
It's time
To love
Your man
