Loving is fine if you have plenty of time
	B
For walking on stilts at the edge of your mind
A
Loving is good if your dick's made of wood
	B
And the dick left inside only half understood her
A
What makes her come and what makes her stay?

What makes him stall, what makes him stand

C#m			    
Well closer to god is the one who's in love
   A		        Abm
And I walk away cause I can
A				B
Too many options may kill a man
A
Loving is fine if it's not in your mind
	B
But I've fucked it up now, too many times
A
Loving is good if it's not understood
	B
Yeah, but I'm the professor and feel that I should know

What makes her come and what makes her stay?
     B
What make the animal run, run away and

What makes him tick apart from him prick
     B
And the lonelier side of the jealousy stick
