When you’re tired I’ll take it slow till you fall into place
And I start pulling at your clothes, the look upon your face leaves me wasted
You lift up your hips for me to help me take it off
And would you fake it to be good to me, cause I’ve been proven wrong
But you’re shaking, yeah you’re shaking and making noise

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

You turn twenty-one tomorrow, go cut up your fake
Yeah you tell me you like older men, well I’m twenty-four in may
And in the quarter-century I’ve lived, I only bought a double bed to sleep with you

Sitting here in old New York, I picture you in love
With some honey-boy you met him back at home when you were younger
And you adore the way he moves, just like I adore you

Please say something, cause I’ve been growing lonesomer each day
And I need your questions to even feel a little bit okay

Tell me how you slept last night, did you wake in a daze
Of memories from ‘fore you knew my name?
And tell me what can make you cry, did you eat enough today?
Cause you’re looking awful skinny in the face

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you when you don’t know what to say
It helps me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

Don’t say nothing, cause I love you but you gotta act your age
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change

To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
To help me make you something that I wouldn’t ever have to change
