lyrics

Well you know I’ve never been one to hold a door
Or to offer to rub your feet when they’re feeling sore
I don’t like to go out and eat expensive food
But babe, I’d like to do that for you

And I don’t wanna go and hang out with your friends
A group of vapid hens with money to spend
Don’t wanna dress up fancy and shine my shoes
Baby, I would shine them for you
Honey, I would shine them for you

And I’ve never been content to just let life run
I wanna open Pandora’s Box, I wanna swallow the sun
And I don’t wanna die without knowing the Truth
But baby, I’d die happy with you
I think I could die happy with you

And I’ll never throw my coat over a puddle in the pouring rain
Or buy you a silver necklace and a diamond ring
They say that chivalry is dead, his face a pallid blue
But babe, I’ll try to revive him for you

And I’m not the kind of man that’ll plan a wedding
Or even six months down the road, you never know what’ll happen
Besides, love is just a feeling, it could never be true
But babe, I’ll change my mind for you
Yeah, I think I’ll change my mind for you

And I’ve never been content to just let life run
Yeah, I wanna taste the Apple, I wanna swallow the sun
And I don’t wanna die without knowing the Truth
But baby, I’d die happy with you
I think I could die happy with you

And I’ve never been content to just let life run
Yeah, I wanna taste the Apple, I wanna swallow the sun
And I don’t wanna die without knowing the Truth
But baby, I’d die happy with you
I think I could die happy with you
I know I would die happy with you
