Mismatch

At first you seemed just like my dream

Of a finer better life

Much more than I could ask for

In a lover or a wife

Though I work with my body

And my work makes my hands rough

There are gentle things inside me

That are anything but tough

There are lessons you could teach me

Things I do not know

Things I've never done, girl

And places we could go

But you only wear your tailored suits

For me to rip and tear

Ah, can't I hold you quietly

And smell your perfumed hair?

I saw you as the answer

That I never dared to dream

I saw you as the window

Into a world I'd never seen

I saw you as the vision

Come to raise me from the mud

On his motorcycle bike

When you call me your animal

It's a name I do not like

But why can't I be gentle

And tell you of my plans?
