[Verse 1]
Baby, I got the best intentions
But I just can't do it
Baby, I got the truest aim
But I just can't win
And baby, I got a good vibration
But I just can't play it
Baby, I spent my only fortune
On the wages of sin

[Chorus]
So you, you gotta be extra forgiving
And you, you gotta be super strong
You gotta be a true romantic
I want you to look the other way
When everything goes wrong

[Verse 2]
Baby, if you took all the good stuff
And you put it all together
And you took all the bad stuff
And you threw it all away
Would I still be the girl
That suits your fancy?
Would I still be the boy
That rocks your world?
(Ah, ah)
[Verse 3]
So if you get lonely
For the trouble and the chaos
If you get bored
Since you walked away
Remember what I told you
When the night was darkest
You can leave me all you need to
Baby, I’m here to stay

[Chorus]
And baby, I'm gonna be extra forgiving
And I'm gonna be super strong
'Cause baby, I'm, I'm a true romantic
I'm gonna look the other way
When everything goes wrong
(Ah, ah)
