[Verse 1]
You never asked me what I wanted
You only asked me why
I never thought that so much trouble
Was resting on my reply

[Pre-Chorus]
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
And you were the only one who'd come
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity
When you know it's the way that you walk

[Chorus]
Why do you have to say that there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
Don't you think that I know that walking on water
Won't make me a miracle man?

[Verse 2]
Baby's got to have the things she wants
You know, she's got to have the things she loves
She's got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
And her black patent leather gloves

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm doing everything just trying to please her
Even crawling around on all fours
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy
But she still seems to want for more
[Chorus]
Why do you have to say that there's always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
Don't you think that I know that walking on water
Won't make me a miracle man?

Oh yeah!

[Spoken]
I wanna introduce you to the Attractions one by one!
On the drums, Mr. Pete Thomas!
On the bass guitar, Mr. Bruce Thomas!
On the keyboards, in a very sophisticated mood indeed, Mr. Steve Nieve!

[Outro]
A miracle man
A miracle man
A miracle man
A miracle man
A miracle man
A miracle man
A miracle man
