breakfast in bed

woke up this morning

rain coming down

washing the sin from the street

sometimes i feel like i'm losing ground

just trying to make ends meet

well i work every day to sweat out my dreams

won't you show me that you understand

it's only my life

whatever that means

and you've got it all in your hands

i need someone to pull me through

won't you take the pain from my head

give me all your loving

the way you always do

give me breakfast in bed

i feel like the good days are numbered

and my nights are getting too long

my hopes and my fears take their toll on the years

and my willpower's almost gone

well it's a time full of trouble

a time of desperate need

sometimes life don't make sense

fighting the anger

jealousy and greed

one day i'll look back and wonder where it all went

i need someone to pull me through

won't you take the pain from my head

give me all your loving

the way you always do

give me breakfast in bed

it don't take much to please me

i'm just a simple man

won't you please believe me

i gotta tell you

it don't take much - a tender touch

so baby do the best that you can
