me first and the gimme gimmes
she believes in me
While she lays sleeping I stay out late at night and play my songs And sometimes all the nights can be so long And it's good when I can finally make it home All alone While she lays dreaming I try to get undressed without the light And quietly she says "how was your night?" And I come to her and say "it was all right" And I hold her tight  And she believes in me I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world with my little songs I was wrong  While she lays waiting I stumble to the kitchen for a bite Then I see my old guitar in the night Just waiting for me like a secret friend And there's no end While she lays crying I fumble with a melody or two And I'm torn between the things that I should do And she says to wake her up when I am through God her love is true  And she believes in me I'll never know just what she sees in me I told her someday if she was my girl I could change the world with my little songs I was wrong  But she has faith in me And so I go on trying faithfully And who knows, maybe on some special night If my song is right I will find a way While she waits While she waits for me
