Blues Traveler - My Blessed Pain lyrics

Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed twenty-six cents from I wanted to ask what the extra penny is for I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you He said "I was making a wish but I've been listening I think you need it more" And it's the same damn thing The stuff you put me through I walked across a bridge and almost right past a suicide You could say I'm a hero depending on the light that you put me in What changed her mind was when I took the time to tell her 'bout you and me She heard my tale and climbed off the rail and then she tried to push me in And it's the same damn thing I hope I'm doing it to you And it sounds like thunder And it feels like rain But I've been so thirsty That I can't explain How you fill me and grow me And no one has known me To complain For you are my blessed pain You are my blessed pain Girls need candy and flowers and monogamy From someone who makes them feel worthwhile Boys need food and five minutes with his right hand free But only the girl gonna make him smile And it's the same damn thing The stuff that you put me through And it sounds like thunder And it feels like rain But I've been so thirsty That I can't explain How you fill me and grow me And no one has known me To complain For you are my blessed pain You are my blessed pain Girls need shoes and attention and monogamy From someone who makes them feel worthwhile Boys need food and basically five minutes with his right hand free But only the girl gonna make him smile And it's the same damn thing I hope I'm doing it to you And it sounds like thunder And it feels like rain But I've been so thirsty That I can't explain How you fill me and grow me And no one has known me To complain For you are my blessed pain You are my blessed pain You are my blessed pain
