I Want To Be The Boy That Warms Your Mot — текст песни (White Stripes, The)

I wanna to be the boy that warms your mother`s heart
I`m so scared to take you away
I tried to win her over right from the start
But something always got in the way
We`ve been sitting in your backyard for hours
But she won`t even come out and say hi
While my mother baked a little cake for you
And even dreaded when you said goodbye
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
I`m inclined to go finish high school
Just to make her notice that I`m around
Well nothing I come up with seems to work
It feels like everything I say is a lie
And never have a felt like such a jerk
I`m afraid to even open my eyes
Because I really don`t want her to judge me
I want to her really know who I am
And then, and only then she will love me
Well at least that was the plan
If ever a boy needed a holiday
If ever a girl needed someone to hold
I just hope I don`t act the same way
By the time that I get that old
What kind of cartwheels do I have to pull?
What kind of joke should I lay on her now?
I`m inclined to go finish high school
Just to make her notice that I`m around
I never said I was the heir to a fortune
I never claimed to have any looks
But these kind of things must be important
Because somebody ripped out my page
In your telephone book
I want to warm her heart
