You never asked me what I wanted. You only asked me why.
I never thought that so much trouble was restin´ on my reply,
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
and you were the only one who´d come.
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,
when you know it´s the way that you walk.

Why do you have to say that there´s always someone
who can do it better than I can?
But don´t you think that I know that walking on the water
won´t make me a miracle man?

Baby´s gotta have the things she wants.
You know she´s gotta have the things she loves.
She´s got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
and her black patent leather gloves.
And I´m doing everything just tryin´ to please her,
even crawling around on all fours.
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy,
but she still seems to want for more.

Why do you have to say that there´s always someone
who can do it better than I can?
But don´t you think that I know that walking on the water
won´t make me a miracle man?

I hear they´re givin´ you a bad reputation
just because you´ve never been denied.
You try to say you´ve done it all before.
Baby, you know that you just get tired.
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.
I just don´t know how you stand the strain.
Oh, I, I´m the one who´s here tonight,
and I don´t wanna do it all in vain.

Why do you have to say that there´s always someone
who can do it better than I can?
But don´t you think that I know that walking on the water
won´t make me a miracle man?
