da man you want me to be

i kno you been hurt lil girl
i kno by dat sad look in yo eye
i kno you been hurt pretty woman
i kno by dat sad look in yo eye
look lak you haf a blink away
from dat bucket a tears you wanna cry

you say you want a dog for company
cause a dog a true and loyal friend
you say you want a dog for company
cause a dog a true and loyal friend
you say dat the only way you can think of
to ever love true love again

well i ain no mangy mutt
an I ain't no pedigree
i don bark in da dark
an i don lick evey face i see
i'm jus strong and sure and lovin kind
baby, i'm da kinda man you want me to be

i kno you been hurt lil girl
i kno by dat sad look in yo eye
i kno you been hurt pretty woman
i kno by dat sad sad look in yo eye
look lak you haf a blink away
from dat bucket a tears you want tu cry

earth

our mother begs us
to take care of her
to love her for her gifts
of flowers
of rain

our mother begs us
to respect her
for her longtime marriage
to sun and moon
and stars

our mother begs us
to care for her children
every creature living
on her spinning breast
traversing heaven

our mother begs us
to be at peace
to receive her gifts
with love and adoration
and affection

our sweet mother begs us
to explore our hearts
to open our eyes and see
and she will smile
forever
