One way ticket from the dust bowl Looking for work, not looking for love Unprepared to sell your soul But what we've done we should be proud of Someone must've messed you way too much But baby you should never be ashamed I promise you you've still got the touch I only know I'm not to blame Didn't wanna be a paper tiger Kinda hiding in a pigeon hole Called myself a lover, not a fighter Imagined I was in control Sure, you're messy and annoying Leaving your stuff all over my floor Tiny hurdles we should be avoiding Cos I never felt this way before Come take my hand and let's compromise No need to act so mysterious Let me run away in your big brown eyes It ain't a joke to say I wanna get serious Didn't wanna be a paper tiger Kinda hiding in a pigeon hole Called myself a lover, not a fighter Imagined I was in control
