This is what happens when you wait too long And you finally realize that your friends were right When they told you you get what you resist And this is what happens when you decide to put Your foot down And you aim for the spot to put your foot down And you hesitate, and you miss We can have a picnic, you can bring your ma But she'll have to look away now and then When you see I have truly given up We'll just send her back home And I'll tell you again That I do give a damn and I'll call you my man I'll call you anything that you like Just give or take one or two When I sing this to you You can call me anytime you like When the north wind blows And my feet grow cold You don't have to be afraid that I'll change my mind 'cause I've worn out all of my holding back
And I give you my word and I give you my time 'cause I do give a damn and I'll call you my man I'll call you anything that you like Just give or take one or two When I sing this to you You can call me anytime you like This is what happens when you realize you are Making a fool out of yourself Trying to prove the truth wrong And this is what happens when you accept Your failure with a smile And get up on your feet and get along We can take a ride on the countryside And tell everyone, let everything show Not just overwhelmed, sooner say overtuned But now I'm getting up and I want you to know That I do give a damn and I'll call you my man I'll call you anything that you like Just give or take one or two When I sing this to you You can call me anytime you like
