Hey Lady

(album: Thriving Ivory - 2008)

She checks her pulse
Gotta know if her heart's still beating
And the hospital's
Not far if anything should happen here
She's bored in a week
Big dreams but nothing material
And I refuse to believe
That love is for the weak
I'm not vulnerable

Hey lady
Don't give up on me
Don't burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady
Said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight

She screams for more
More than just some blue eyed metaphor
And the trouble is
The trouble is she's always searching
The hour's late
Don't wanna hear that it's all gonna end soon
Not I'm not crazy
I'm in control
And all of my friends still know

Hey lady
Don't give up on me
Don't burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady
Said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight

I'm on one knee
Lover please
How can I put it more simply?
And I wait for your invitation
And I'm so so so so over waiting
I'm on one knee
Lover please
How can I put it more simply?

Hey lady
Don't give up on me
Dont' burn your heart out love
Till we're ash over seas
Hey lady
Said I don't wanna fight
Like pretty girls need cowboys
I need you here tonight.
