Miracle Man Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Miracle Man Lyrics

    You never asked me what I wanted

    You only asked me why

    I never thought that so much trouble

    Was restin' on my reply

    I could say it was the rights when I was lonely

    And you were the only one who'd come

    I could tell you that I like your sensitivity

    When you know it's the way that you walk



    (CHORUS) Why do you have to say there there's always someone

    Who can do it better than I can?

    But don't you think that I know that walking on the water

    Won't make me a miracle man?



    Baby's gotta have the things she wants

    You know she's gotta have the things she loves

    She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder

    And her black patent leather gloves

    And I'm doing everything just tryin' to please her

    Even crawling around on all fours

    Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy

    But she still seems to want for more



    (REPEAT CHORUS)

    Oh yeah



    Never given you a bad reputation

    Just because you've never been denied

    You try to say you've done it all before

    Baby, you know that you just get tired

    Yet everybody loves you so much, girl

    I just don't know how you stand the strain

    Oh I-I'm the one who's here tonight

    And I don't wanna do it all in vain



    (REPEAT CHORUS)

    Oh yeah

    A miracle man

    (REPEAT AND FADE)
