Styx - She Cares lyrics

rate me

Written by Tommy Shaw

I tried to be the perfect soldier

I tried to be what everyone said was expected

Somehow I was selected

Well, my hands were steady, my aim was true

But deep inside of my heart I knew

That I lacked the will

I just couldn't shoot to kill

And still she treats me like a human

She says she'll still be there

I may not be a hero, but I'll be there

Because I know she cares

I worked hard to be the greatest lover

I wanted to be sure that I was her only one

That's how I thought it was done

But I went too far, assumed too much

The need to feel a younger one's touch

Seemed important then

Oh what a fool I've been

And still she treats me like a human (like a human)

She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)

I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair

'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes

And nobody knows what compels her

She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

Oh yes she treats me like a human (like a human)

She says she'll still be there (that she'll be there)

I don't quite understand it, she's been too fair

'Cause somehow she cares

I guess that's the way it goes, the way that it goes

And nobody knows what compels her

She's seen my highs and lows and never let go

And when the world has turned its back on me

I won't have to feel alone

'Cause I know she cares
