The Girl

I wish I could do better by

You 'cause that's what you deserve

You sacrifice so much of your life

In order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams

Sailing around the world

Please know that I'm yours to keep

My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies

Knowing that I may have been the cause

If you were to leave, fulfill someone else's dreams

I think I might totally be lost

You don't ask for no diamond rings

No delicate strings of pearls

That's why I wrote this song to sing

My beautiful girl

One, two, one, two, three, four

I wish I could do better by

You 'cause it's what you deserve

You sacrifice so much of your life

In order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams

And sailing around the world

Please know that I'm yours to keep

My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies

Knowing that I may have been the cause

If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams

I think I might totally be lost

But you don't ask for no diamond rings

No delicate strings of pearls

That's why I wrote this song to sing

My beautiful girl

But you don't ask for no diamond rings

No delicate strings of pearls

That's why I wrote this song to sing

My beautiful girl

I've sung people's regret

Why don't you see we're all found

Oh, they yearn
