The way of things

When you do that mona lisa with that smile on your face
Does it say you've got my number, any time and any place
And are you going to use that power just to bring me to my knees
Just to add to the confusion that separates you and me

I was born to want you all my life
And you were born to be wanted all your life
That's the way of things

Sometimes to be a man is just the same to be condemned
To a fight between the body and the mind that never ends
And i will speak small minded things
And you will wonder what that was
You'll be laughing at the symptoms and ignoring the cause

That i was born to want you all my life
And you were born to be wanted all your life
That's the way of things

Could you be laughing at this primitive half of me
The half that can't laugh with you 'til it finds relief
