If It's What She Wants

If It's What She Wants Met her in my High School days Enchanted by her wildchild ways Married her in early life Remains my still enchanting wife Now heads are grey No kids around these days The pace of life more slow But still the subtle fires glow I'm not the best that I could be But she doesn't hold it over me So if it's what she wants She gets it If it's in my hand to give She gets it If it's what she needs I'll give it If it's what it takes to keep her If it's what it takes to hold her I'll give her my last breath - If it's what it takes to have her all the time, If it's what it takes to know she'll always be mine, I'll hold her down to death. I know I drink too much Sometimes fall out of touch Sometimes I don't know who I am Sometimes I don't even have a plan But the girl stays with me anyway Meets the issues day by day Sees somethin' in me - I don't know Whatever it is, for her it shows No longer Once-Upon-A-Time I'm not the young Blade in his Prime But if it's what she wants She gets it If it's in my hand to give She gets it If it's what she needs I'll give it If it's what it takes to keep her living in my life, If it's what it takes to hold her as my one and only wife I'll give her my last breath - If it's what it takes to have her If it's what it takes to know her I'll hold her down to death. Now the years are few Not the easy world we knew Twilight hours in waning life She remains my yet beloved wife Why she loves me I don't know She goes on undiscouraged though I'll never be more than what I am Her simple, stupid, loving man Accept the truth of what I say Keep the faith now, day by day If it's what she wants She gets it If it's in my hand to give She gets it If it's what she needs I'll give it If it's what it takes to keep her here within my heart, If it's what it takes to hold her so we'll never part, I'll give her my last breath - If it's what it takes to have her If it's what it takes to know her I'll hold her down to death.
