The Difference (Goshdamn)

I said "Why do you chase me so
When you know I won't give in?"
He paused at me, his eyes narrowed
He said, "I can't help it
You little bitch"

And so he listened while I told
And he answered when I asked
And with the stories of my soul
He drew a map.

He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

Doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

Doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

Goshdamn
He breathes embers into sparks
Just to keep my body warm at night
And he takes the temperature of my heart
And keeps the stars I hang my dreams on in his sight.

And you know that I will go to any length
To live up to the strength he knows I have
I will travel any route
To give up doubt of the woman he knows I am.

He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
Doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
Doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

Somehow that man
Lord knows only time will tell
If ever I'll blush for someone else
But he compels me with his heartfelt
Honesty unparalleled
He peers around my learning curve
Calls me on my shortsighted nerve
And he knows me better than I know myself.

He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference
He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow that man, he knows the difference.

He doesn't do what I want when I want it
But he does what I need when I need it
Goshdamn, somehow-
He doesn't follow where I walk
But if I turn, he'll be there
How can a man who's such a rock
Be lighter than the air?
Somehow he knows the difference.
