[Verse 1]
What if your father has a stroke
When you are ten?
Then sits like a rag doll
Wheelchair in the den
You start failing school
Breaking every rule
Pretty soon you're a bum

[Verse 2]
Then one day you meet a girl
At first sight
Both stand speechless
In the hall through the night
Whatever happened to her?
There are traces of what she were
She wanted to be a nun (Wanted to be a nun)

[Verse 3]
Both of you begin to cautiously
Whisper words
You sit together chirping
Little tiny love birds
Who knows what you said?
If only you could touch her in bed
She certainly is the one (Certainly)
[Pre-Chorus]
Time passes by and you ruin it
Before your eyes you are losing it
How can you get what you need from her?
Now you become just a weed to her

[Chorus]
I'm someone who loves you!
I'm someone who loves you!

[Verse 4]
That was years ago
Now the New Mexico hills
You sometimes describe to her
Heavy telephone bills
She lives way back east
Says can't you keep in touch at least?
But you don't call her up

[Verse 5]
Deep in the heart
Of the life you live
Tenderly you treasure
Every kiss that you give
Don't think about her much
You kicked away that crutch
So you could walk alone
[Pre-Chorus]
By now you know you can't ruin it
It's just that one day you stop doin' it

[Chorus]
I'm someone who loves you!
I'm someone who loves you!
