You Had Time

how can i go home
with nothing to say?
i know you're going to look at me that way
and say, "what did you do out there?
"and what did you decide?
"you said you needed time
"and you had time."

you are a china shop
and i am a bull
you are really good food
and i am full
i guess everything is timing
i guess everything's been said
so i am coming home with an empty head

you'll say, "did they love you or what?"
i'll say, "they love what i do.
"the only one who really loves me is you."
and you'll say, "girl did you kick some butt."
and i'll say, "i don't really remember.
"but my fingers are sore
"and my voice is too."

you'll say, "it's really good to see you."
you'll say, "i missed you horribly."
you'll say, "let me carry that,
"give that to me."
and you will take the heavy stuff
and you will drive the car
and i'll look out the window making jokes
about the way things are

how can i go home
with nothing to say?
i know you're going to look at me that way
and say, "what did you do out there?
"and what did you decide?
"you said you needed time
"and you had time."

you had time
you had time
you had time
you had time
