You Always Could
You always could find that soft spot in me when I was angry
You always could jangle everything that I would say
Until you got it your way
I give a lot of credit to the fact you know me so well

In tender words that I never heard
You always could think of some crazy little thing
That happens only in dreams

Others have tried and didn't get to first base
But it took nothing more than a look to know
