THE STORY: This
song originally appeared on TRUE STORIES. I sang the verses
instead of talking them this time around because it was easier to
perform live. THE LYRICS:
Who’s gonna be the one
To tell you you’re right
When everyone knows your wrong
Who’s gonna be the one
To make a cold room warm in the middle of the night
I’m gonna be the one
Just close your eyes
You’ll end up with a smile
I’m gonna be the one
To be your sugar daddy
If you’ll be my sugar child
Chorus:
I wanna be your father tonight
I would never hurt you
I wanna be your mother tonight
Just close your eyes
Who’s gonna be the one
That melts in your mouth not in your hands
Who’s gonna be the one
To say “yes” before the words come out of your mouth
I’m gonna be the one
To make you bark at the sunshine and howl at the moon
I’m gonna be the one
Just open up and say “aaah”
Repeat Chorus
Put me in chains
Tie me up tight enough to leave a scar
Don’t you realize how lonely I am
My happiness lies in your hands
If you need me tell me
I’ll never turn down your calls
Don’t be afraid to sit next to me
Don’t be afraid to talk to me
I wanna take away your fears
And I want you to cry your tears on to me
I’ll be your security
I wanna know you for who you are
You can be yourself around me…
Strip away every disguise
Strip off every one of your lies
Don’t be afraid of me because…
Repeat Chorus
You’re so beautiful
Are you happy where you are?
Because I’m dying to set you fee
I’m dying to let you be
Whoever you wanna be cause
I wish you were my child...
