Lyle Lovett - Here I Am lyrics

rate me

Hello

I'm the guy who sits next to you

And reads the newspaper over your shoulder

Wait

Don't turn the page

I'm not finished

Life is so uncertain

Here I am

Yes it's me

Take my hand

And you'll see

Here I am

Yes it's true

All I want

Girl is you

Given that true intellectual and emotional compatability

Are at the very least difficult

If not impossible to come by

We could always opt for the more temporal gratification

Of sheer physical attraction

That wouldn't make you a shallow person

Would it

Here I am

Yes it's me

Take my hand

And you'll see

Here I am

Yes it's true

All I want

Girl is you

If Ford is to Chevrolet

What Dodge is to Chrysler

What Corn Flakes are to Post Toasties

What the clear blue sky is to the deep blue sea

What Hank Williams is to Neil Armstrong

Can you doubt we were made for each other

Here I am

Yes it's me

Take my hand

And you'll see

Here I am

Yes it's true

All I want

Girl is you

Look

I understand too little too late

I realize there are things you say and do

You can never take back

But what would you be if you didn't even try

You have to try

So after a lot of thought

I'd like to reconsider

Please

If it's not too late

Make it a cheeseburger

Here I am

Yes it's me

Take my hand

And you'll see

Here I am

Yes it's true

All I want

Girl is you
