In The River
She's sitting on the counter with cotton 'tween her toes He's thinking about leaving, and making it known And while she waits she pulls a petal from a rose He's summing up syllables and putting on his clothes And out in woods where the white river flows It's carrying something home But don't forget, that he just needs a kind he's never met He just needs a kind he's never met And you know all the words, but you ain't really heard 'em yet She wants to talk, she's a little bit scared So she just keeps quiet and hopes he cares And he thinks it over while he touches her hair And he's gotta do it, though it's not fair And out in the river there's rocks down Where the sun can't point it's glare But don't forget that he just needs a kind he's never met He just needs a kind he's never met And you know all the words, but you ain't really heard 'em yet And on the floor she's crying and moaning ?Just can't be so. ?Well, I tried to be the one that he wants. ?He told me but it can't be so.? Well, it was more than one, and it was more than one at once Songtexte And you want him now, but wait 'til the morning Your bed is half empty and your eyes are full wet He's the kind that needs a woman, he just needs a kind he's never met He just needs a kind he's never met And you know all the words, but ten thousand flowers can't dam a river Can they, baby? Can they, darlin'? No, ten thousand flowers can't dam a river Now, baby Aus Songtexte Mania
