Laura hold these hands and count my fingers
Laura touch these lips you once desired
Lay your head upon my chest and hear my heart beat
Gently run your fingers through my hair.

Touch these ears that's listened to your wishes
Most of them fullfilled and that's a lot
Let your soft gentle hands caress my body
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got.

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
It must be something I was born without
You took an awful chance to be with another man
So tell me what he's got that I ain't got.

Laura see these walls that I built for you
Laura see this carpet that I layed
See those fancy curtains on the windows
Touch those satin pillows on your bed.

Laura count the dresses in your closet
Note the name upon your checkbook in your bag
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got.

Tell me what he's got that I can't give you
It must be something I was born without
And if there's time before I pull this trigger
Then tell me what he's got that I ain't got.

Laura tell me what he's got that I ain't got
Tell me what he's got that I ain't got...
