The Roches - I'm Someone Who Loves You lyrics

What if your father has a stroke When you are ten Then sits like a rag doll Wheelchair in the den You start failing school Breaking every rule Pretty soon you're a bum Then one day you meet a girl At first sight You both stand speechless In the hall through the night What ever happened to her There are traces of what she were She wanted to be a nun Both of you begin to cautiously Whisper words You sit together chirping Little tiny love birds Who knows what you said If only you could touch her in bed She certainly is the one Time pa**es by and you ruin it Before your eyes you are losing it How can you get what you need from her Now you become just a weed to her I'm someone who loves you! That was years ago Now the new mexico hills You sometimes describe to her Heavy telephone bills She lives way back east Says can't you keep in touch at least But you don't call her up Deep in the heart Of the life you live Tenderly you treasure Every kiss that you give Don't think about her much You kicked away that crutch So you could walk alone By now you know you can't ruin it It's just that one day you stop doin' it I'm someone who loves you! I'm someone who loves you!
