Mr. Tugboat Hello

Sophie B. Hawkins

You won't be strong for me, I'm sure
Oh, how could I have lost my heart
To one so insecure
Desire hard to resist
But for whom I exist

Love, I give my eyes to read your signs
No compromise your faith is mine
I don't despise the endless time
It takes to realize that I am just a fool
Though you were cruel
To show me paradise so soon

I don't know why, I hardly care
Happy disillusions fade
When passion's in the air
Fire, water and salt
Madness inspired pain
Let it remain my fault

Hate me for a while, I saw you cheat
It's not my style to break the heat
Murder is vile and death is sweet
I have to smile at my defeat
Yes, I'm insane though just the same
You must have recognized my name, ooh

Mr. Tugboat hello, ocean liner
Finer day, no ma'am
Ooh, and I have no plans
Just to do as I please
Back to the breeze
Of sailing around my island

Everybody's outside
Love has arrived
I wanna be your friend
Living it up together baby
Give me up, I'll drive you crazy
Can't find me baby, so climb

The story's true, I can't deny
First thing I was born to see
Was mama cry
Raspberries and wine, boxing gloves
Train stations and valentines

Paris, I'm in debt, I can't come home
My lips are wet, I hate the phone
J'ai un regrette et mes chansons
I bumped my head while you were gone
You thought for you, as though for two
