What Do You Want The Girl To Do? Lyrics - The Complete Warner Recordings - Allen Toussaint

So you think the woman's crazy 

She eat up your lies 

Like it's good, your lies like apple pie 

She don't even cry 

She is not a fool 

She's just tryin' to do what her heart says to 

To love you 

As you take to the wind 

To the wind again she breaks down 

As she breaks down within 

Within, within, within 

She waits for you patiently 

Hopin' that someday you'll see 

That all she really wants to be 

Is yours and yours alone, eternally 

What do you want the girl to do? 

Don't you know, you're breakin' the child in two? 

What do you want the girl to do? 

All she really wants is you 

She knows what you are 

Still she'll be your queen if you let her 

Will you say the word today 

And build your world around her 

Now and then you'll promise 

All the way-out things you're goin' to get her 

You will see, you will see, [Incomprehensible] she knows better 

You're so damn glad you found her, found her free to go 

As she watched you come and go for your show 

And as she watched your promises erode 

She waits for you patiently 

Hopin' that someday you'll see 

That all she really wants to be 

Is yours and yours alone, eternally 

What do you want the girl to do? 

Don't you know, you're breakin' the child in two? 

What do you want the girl to do? 

All she really wants is you 

What do you want the girl to do? 

Can't you see, you're breakin' the child in two? 

What do you want the girl to do?
