[Verse 1]
I asked you where you been, you said noneâya
None yo business donât you ask no more
you said if you would do a better job of listening
then maybe you would understand why Iâm at the door
[Verse 2]
You just had to paint the front porch ceiling turquoise
You said thats the way we do it in the south
you claimed it keeps out all the evil sprits
sometimes i cant believe the words that are coming out your mouth
[Chorus 1]
But I try because I want to
know your heart the best way that I can
through the laughter and the pain
and sometimes just insane
girl all I wanna do is be your man
[Verse 3]
sometimes weâll pretend we are strangers
out there meeting up for the first time
Iâll be a doctor or a secret agent
just hoping that you laugh with me as I thaw out my lines
[Solo]
x3
[Verse 4]
i use to tell myself I had it covered
that everything was where it needs to be
then you showed up and you looked me over
and now I see, all I see
and now I see, darling now I see
[Chorus 2]
So I try because I need to
and know your heart the best way that I can
for the laughter for the pain
for the way you call my name
girl all I wanna do is be your man
[Outro]
I asked you where you been, you said noneâya
None yo business donât you ask no more
