The World According To Lionel

If She Only Knew How

Here I am and I'm not sure why
Maybe 'cause when the tables turned
I didn't just lay down and die
So I built me a rock house out on this pier
Not too many people have the nerve to come out here
So I spend each day just chasing my fear
Not quite sure why I'm here

But she could take me back any day now
If she only, only knew how, yeah, yeah, yeah

So I got a lot of time to do the things I need to
I got many friends
but let me tell ya man a few are true
Yeah if she'd come around I'd raise the flag up high
I'd clean out the cellar, God knows I'd try
To make it up to her oh why, oh why, oh why
Didn't I before

She could take me back, you know that she could
If she only, only would, yeah, yeah, yeah

The moon is hanging high but it's early morn
I got my steel toe working boots on
man let me tell ya they're worn
The salt air feels good against my skin
Yeah the night air feels like it's breaking in
All I wanted was to have me just a little bit of fun
And she saw it as some naked sin
But I just couldn't live that life
No I just couldn't live that life
I just couldn't see her as my wife
No I just couldn't see her as my wife

But if she'd walk down, down that road
I'll tell her all the things she wanted to be told
yeah, yeah, yeah
She could take me back any day now
If she only, only knew how yeah, yeah, yeah
