Sophie B. Hawkins
"Mr. Tugboat Hello"


You won't be strong
For me I'm sure
Oh how could I have lost my heart
To one so insecure
Desire hard to resist
But for whom I exist

Love I give my eyes to read your signs
No compromise your faith is mine
I don't despise the endless time
It takes to realize that I
Am just a fool
Though you were cruel
To show me paradise so soon

I don't know why
I hardly care
Happy disillusions fade
When passion's in the air
Fire water and salt
Madness inspired
Pain, let it remain my fault

Hate me for a while I saw you cheat
It's not my style to break the heat
Murder is vile and death is sweet
I have to smile at my defeat
Yes I'm insane
Though just the same
You must have recognized my name
Oooh

Mr. Tugboat hello
Ocean liner finer day no ma'am
Oooh and I have no plans
Just to do as I please
Back to the breeze
Oh sailing round my island
Everybody's outside
Love has arrived
I wanna be your friend
Living it up together baby
Give me up I'll
Drive you crazy
Can't find me a baby
So climb

The story's true
I can't deny
First thing I was born to see
Was mama cry
Raspberries and wine, boxing gloves
Train stations and valentines

Paris I'm in debt I can't come home
My lips are wet I hate the phone
J'ai un regrette et mes chansons
I bumped my head while you were gone
You thought for you
As though for two
