[Intro]
[Verse]
What if your father has a stroke when you are ten
Sits like a rag doll, wheelchair in the den
You start failing school
Breaking every rule
Pretty soon you re a bum
[Verse]
Then one day you meet a girl at first sight
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
[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
I m someone who loves you
[Verse]
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
You don t call her up
[Verse]
Deep in the heart of the life you live
Tenderly you treasure every kiss that you give
Don t think about her much
Kicked away that crutch
So you could walk alone
[Chorus]
By now you know you can t ruin it
Just that one day you stop doing it
I m someone who loves you
I m someone who loves you
