Mismatch — текст песни (Harry Chapin)





At first you seemed just like my dream
Of a finer better life
Much more than I could ask for
In a lover or a wife
Though I work with my body
And my work makes my hands rough
There are gentle things inside me
That are anything but tough

There are lessons you could teach me
Things I do not know
Things I`ve never done, girl
And places we could go
But you only wear your tailored suits
For me to rip and tear
Ah, can`t I hold you quietly
And smell your perfumed hair?

I saw you as the answer
That I never dared to dream
I saw you as the window
Into a world I`d never seen
I saw you as the vision
Come to raise me from the mud
But you came to use my sweat to cool
The fever in your blood

I`m not Marlon Brando
On his motorcycle bike
When you call me your animal
It`s a name I do not like
Please do not tear my back
Yes, of course I bleed
The violence you thirst for
Is not what I need

Your silken skin is armor
That begs for brutal hands
But why can`t I be gentle
And tell you of my plans?
I know that you`re using me
Not I just using you
And you`re not so scared
Of losing me as I losing you

At first you seemed...
