My Blessed Pain

Tell you 'bout a man I borrowed 26 cents from I wanted to ask what the extra penny was for I needed a quarter for the next two minutes with you He said, "I was makin' 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 about you and me She heard my tale and then she climbed off the rail And then she tried to push me in And it's the same damn thing I hope I'm doin' 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 make 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 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 Blessed pain Girls need shoes and attention and monogamy From someone who make them feel worthwhile Boys need food and five minutes with his right hand free But only the girl gonna make him smile It's the same damn thing I hope I'm doin' 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 You are my blessed pain You are my blessed pain My blessed pain My blessed pain My blessed, blessed pain My blessed pain, pain, pain
