8. Faithless Man's World
(Real Thing, 2007)
I never could help you
But I had a good time
And my love left no children
No dollars or dimes
My soul ain't so deep
My heart's not precise
But my body's like a lion
It wants to touch every good thing twice
We both make mistakes
But my darlingest girl
How can you not tolerate
A faithless man's world
Could I be washed up
Before I began
I got a cold cup of coffee
I got a bloody kickstand
I can barely believe
When the crooked day breaks
How can I have so many tricks up my sleeve
And still my poor, fool heart aches
We both make mistakes
But my darlingest girl
How can you not tolerate
A faithless man's world
It's not that I'm lonely
It's not the strong drink
It's the pain inside the ordinary
That drives me every time to the brink
So what if I like love
I like to give love too
In this sick, twisted world I wanna make love
Most of all I wanna make love to you
We both make mistakes
But my darlingest girl
How can you not tolerate
A faithless man's world
You can turn wine into water
If that should help to ease your mind
You can change passion into devotion
You can make a wise man blind
But I've got to ask why
When nothing in the world ever stays the same
How you gonna hold a stick in the fire
When we can both be dancing inside the flame
We both make mistakes
But my darlingest girl
How can you not tolerate
A faithless man's world
