Bonnie - Chance Waters, The Griswolds

She don’t want to catch my gaze

Doesn’t trust what her eyes might say

Doesn’t think that we’ll see things through

Most boys look the other way

Two pools like a crystal blue

Bet I drown before I learn to float

Taught these pupils a thing or two

Love lessons from a broken home

But while there’s a beat in my chest

I just don’t, do not understand

Why I’m the only man

Believe in me Bonnie

Believe in me Bonnie

White flag, surrender easy

White dove she could fall to peaches

I could tell her anything she wants

But it might as well be God cuz she won’t believe it

Street smart and a little defeatist

And no dumb luck but a lot of feelings

She don’t need the words I’m speaking

She needs somebody to hear her reasons

Cuz she don’t believe in nothing

If she cannot touch it

And you cannot clutch

All the love that I claim

She can hear the words I say

But hearts can break and they can’t be blamed

Cuz she don’t believe in someone

If she cannot trust them

And tomorrow is something

But it’s not today

It isn’t that she doesn’t have faith

She’s just smart enough to know that people change

But while there’s a beat in my chest

While there’s a breath in my lungs

I just don’t, do not understand

Why I’m the only man

Believe in me Bonnie

Believe in me Bonnie

I just don’t, do not understand

Why I’m the only man

Believe in me Bonnie

Believe in me Bonnie

She’s the one, I can tell by all our days

In the setting sun and its final dying rays

And the things I want and the way in which they’ve changed

And the moments gone and the ones we’ve yet to face

Yes some have run, but I will be here in the end

If the end should come, and here is where she rests her head

And you’ll find me there is she will have me by her bed

And I’m the man I hope I’ll learn to be by then

Then I’ll remain here

I just don’t, do not understand

Why I’m the only man

Believe in me Bonnie

Believe in me Bonnie

I just don’t, do not understand

Why I’m the only man

Believe in me Bonnie

Believe in me Bonnie
