Нow 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.

'Cause 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...
