Lyrics: Grace Ives/John DeBold
Music: Grace Ives/John DeBold
Taking my dogs for a walk
Singing my loss to the moon, I howl
Writing my name in the bark
Dragging my feet through the mud, I prowl
Men, they will come, and the women, they go
More that I want, well, the less that I know
Calling my name, like a minute too late
Only wants love, if it's all in his fate
Tell me where I lost my way completely
I'd be his shadow just to have his back
Every single guy I meet completes me
I need a lover who can love right back
And they all just melt away my meaning
I'll be your candle, but I'll weep my wax
Every single time, it just defeats me
You miss the point of me and pin me back
Anything to know I'm alive
Any little tell that I'm just your kind
Writing out your name in the tide
Anything to show you were on my mind
And I'm taking my love for a ride
Driving on the west, I'm a lonesome dove
Looking at the sky like it's mine, all mine
Wish on dust, I'm a long-lost love
Women, they come, and the lessons they go
More that I have, well, the less that I know
Pairing me down to a pinch of a flame
Only want fire if it burns in your name
Tell me where I lost my way completely
I'd be his shadow just to have his back
Every single guy I meet completes me
I need a lover who can love me back
And they all just melt away my meaning
I'll be your candle, but I'll weep my wax
If they all just flattened out beneath me
I'd see forever down a clear-cut path, yeah
Only want my, only need my
My man
Only want my, only need my man
My man
Only want my, only need my
My man
Only want my, only need my man, yeah
"You can't get everything you want," I sigh
And the lesson holds up, but it doesn't apply
I got some money and some plans, I guess, so it's only up to you now, my man
Only want my, only need my
My man
Only want my, only need my man, mmm
