Lyrics

Baby, I know I blew your mind
Oh, I just kept hangin' 'round you
I thought you needed me near, oh yes I did now
Thought someday we'd settle down, oh yeah
Try to run my game on you, no baby, no no
Just tryin' to make you know
If you let me, I know I can
I can sail a ship on dry land
Hey, if you let me, I know I can
Be a man, I wanna
I know you told me from the start how you felt
Oh, my mind was already made up, yes it was now
I was gonna take care of you, oh yeah (I really love you)
Instead I made things just a little rough on you, oh yeah
Try to run my game on you, no baby, no no
Just tryin' to make you know
If you let me, I know I can
I can build a house on quicksand (Quicksand, baby)
If you let me, I know I can
Be a man, I wanna
Try to run my game on you, no baby, no no no
Just tryin' to make you see
My mind went up and left me
My heart's givin' in with you, yeah
Baby, I miss you
Oh, if you let me, I know I can
I can sail a ship on dry land
Hey, if you let me, I know I can
I can build a house on quicksand
Hey, if you let me, I know I can
I'll do anything you want me to baby, all you gotta do is let me
