Elisabeth

You ain't no shrinkin' violet are you? And you love to bat your eyelids, don't you? You know all the times that I'm ashamed And all those words you said, misspoken To all those boys who left you broken Ain't no need for placing any blame 'Cause if it wasn't for you cryin' there In Ohio just last year All the love I got would've been in vain So I'll wake up for work And tug a little on your shirt Hope you know the depths I'd go would be insane For a girl like you Who needs trust but needs freedom Who wants love But would be fine on her own For a girl like you With your daddy's mannerisms And a soft smile Makes the distance less alone In a world that's full of wants and what is next I'll stay here with you, Elisabeth You are here at just the right time At twenty-three years, it's felt a lifetime My momma, she must trust you through and through 'Cause she left me with a girl like you A girl like you Who needs trust but needs freedom Who wants love But would be fine on her own A girl like you With her daddy's mannerisms And a soft smile Makes the distance less alone In a world that's full of wanting what is next I'll stay here with you, Elisabeth You ain't no shrinkin' violet, are you? And you love to bat your eyelids, don't you? You know all the times that I'm ashamed
