Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well

In this life, I've seen everything I can see, woman

I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand

I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun

And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above

I've seen old men crying in their own grave sides

And I've seen pigs all sitting watching picture slides

[PreChorus]

But I (I)

Never seen nothin' like you

[Chorus]

Do ya, do ya want my love? (Woman)

Do ya, do ya want my face? (I need it)

Do ya, do ya want my mind? (I'm sayin')

Do ya, do ya want my love?

[Verse 2]

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune

As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon

I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums

And I heard the police playin' with their guns

[PreChorus]

But I (I)

Never heard nothin' like you

[Bridge]

In the country where the sky touches down on the field

She lay her down to rest in the morning sun

They come a-runnin' just to get a look

Just to feel, to touch her long black hair

They don't give a damn

[PreChorus]

But I (I)

Never seen nothin' like you

[Chorus]

Do ya, do ya want my love? (Woman)

Do ya, do ya want my face? (I need it)

Do ya, do ya want my mind? (I'm sayin')

Do ya, do ya want my love?

[Verse 3]

Well, I think you know what I'm tryin' to say, woman

That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day

I've seen enough of the world to know

That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow

[Chorus]

Do ya, do ya want my love? (C'mon now)

Do ya, do ya want my face? (I need it)

Do ya, do ya want my mind? (Alright now)

Do ya, do ya want my love? (Oh, look out)

[Outro]

Do ya, do ya want my love?

Do ya, do ya want my love?

Oh, oh
