Love Song of the Beta Male

Love Song of the Beta Male - Stornoway Lyrics

Don't ask me to make you laugh until you cryBecause you know I'm on good form if I can raise a smileAnd don't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the thresholdBecause you know I'd only hurt myself if I were to tryI can tell you bout the way you make me feel insideWhen I lie beside you in our bed at nightAnd I can listen to your troubles and hold you tightAnd tell you everything'll be alrightBut don't ask me to spin you round and dance with youBecause you know I've two left feet and no guts with thatAnd don't ask me to rise to your political debateI don't need reminding of my ignoranceI can tell you about the way you make me feel insideWhen I lie beside you in our bed at nightAnd I can listen to your troubles and hold you tight
And tell you everything'll be alrightAnd it doesn't matter what I do or what I sayBecause you're only gonna be yourself anywayAnd I don't need to tell you anything anywayTo know that everything'll be alrightIf you don't ask me to save you, from my mother when she stays too longDon't ask me to buy you fancy lingerieWell its an awful lot of money and I wouldn't know your sizeAnd don't ask me to make you rich or even bring home the baconI will cook it for you when I'm hereAnd when I'm out on the road I'll write sentimentalSongs about the way you make me feel insideWhen I lie beside you in our bed at nightAnd we can listen to the traffic and I'll hold you tightAnd tell you everything'll be alrightAnd it doesn't matter what I do or what I sayBecause you're only gonna be yourself anyway
And I don't need to tell you anything anywayTo know that everything'll be alrightDon't ask me to spin you round and dance with youDon't ask me to walk 500 miles for youDon't ask me to sweep you up and carry you across the thresholdDon't ask me to stand up to your big big brother for youDon't ask me to mend your broken car for you
