Love Song of the Beta Male

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't ask me to make you laugh until you cry Because you know I'm on good form if I can raise a smile Don't ask me sweep you up and carry you across the threshold Because you know I'd only hurt myself if I were to try [Chorus] I can tell you 'bout the way you make me feel inside As I lie beside you in our bed at night And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight And tell you everything'll be alright [Verse 2] But don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you Because you know I've two left feet and no guts for that Don't ask me to rise to your political debate I don't need reminding of my ignorance [Chorus] I can tell you 'bout the way you make me feel inside As I lie beside you in our bed at night And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight And tell you everything will be alright And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say 'Cus you're only gonna be yourself anyway And I don't need to tell you anything anyway To know that everything'll be alright [Bridge] If you don't ask me to save you From my mother when she stays too long [Verse 3] Don't ask me to buy you fancy lingerie Well it's an awful lot of money and I wouldn't know your size Don't ask me to make you rich or even bring home the bacon But I'll cook it for you when I'm here And when I'm out on the road, I'll write sentimental [Chorus] Songs about the way you make me feel inside As I lie beside you in our bed at night And we can listen to the traffic and I'll hold you tight And tell you everything'll be alright And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say 'Cus you're only gonna be yourself anyway And I don't need to tell you anything anyway To know that everything'll be alright [Outro] (I can tell you 'bout the way you make me feel inside As I lie beside you in our bed at night) If you don't ask me to spin you round and dance with you (And I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight And tell you everything will be alright) If you don't ask me to walk 500 miles for you (And it doesnt matter what I do or what I say 'Cus you're only gonna be yourself anyway) If you don't ask me sweep you up and carry you across the threshold (And I don't need to tell you anything anyway To know that everything will be alright) If you don't ask me to make you laugh until you cry [Birdsong]
