Elvis Costello – Miracle Man Lyrics  Share

From Elvis Costello's album: My Aim Is True

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 nights 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 that 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,
[ Miracle Man lyrics from

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.

[Chorus]

I hear they^,re givin^, 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.

[Chorus]
