lyrics

oh, what's a girl to do?

my father says to write a love song
breathe it into life and "he" will come to me
my mother says i've got nice friends
and means to ends, everyone deserves to be happy

i'm not looking for a companion
i want the arms made to enfold this body in
but if i'm waiting for something that isn't true
oh, what's a girl to do?

my brother says it's unexpected
late night conversations turned to kisses
my friends they tell a different story
battle scars, grim and gory, and near misses

i'm just looking for a gentle heart
one that still won't take my shit when i start
but if i'm losing faith with each new passing moon
oh, what's a girl to do?

and if i meet a man and he's beautiful
and he smells like sea and sand, and he's beautiful
and i know he's not you, but he's beautiful
oh, what's a girl to do?

so i will try to write our love song
breathe it into life so you will come to me
i see us walking through the jungle
stepping over stones set under hanging trees

and when the night comes we are not afraid
for our laughter echoes through the endless space
returning as this song i sang to you
and then i am waves, and you're captain of the sea
and you're sailing your sweet body over me
and we're sinking deeper into ocean's blue
oh, what's a girl to do?
