Love Song of the Beta Male

Love Song of the Beta Male - Stornoway

Don't ask me to make you laugh until you cry

Because you know I'm on good form

If I can raise a smile

Don't ask me to sweep you up

And carry you across the threshold

Because you know

I'd only hurt myself if I were to try

I can tell you about the way

You make me feel inside

When I lie beside you in our bed at night

And I can listen to your troubles

And hold you tight

And tell you everything'll be alright

But don't ask me to spin you round

And dance with you

Because you know

I've two left feet and no guts with that

Don't ask me to rise to your political debate

I don't need reminding of my ignorance

I can tell you about the way

You make me feel inside

As I lie beside you in our bed at night

And I can listen to your troubles

And hold you tight

And tell you everything'll be alright

And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say

Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway

And I don't need to tell you anything anyway

To know that everything'll be alright

If you don't ask me to save you

From my mother when she stays too long

Don't ask me to buy you fancy lingerie

Well it's an awful lot of money

And I wouldn't know your size

Don't ask me to make you rich

Or even bring home the bacon

But I will cook it for you when I'm here

And when I'm out on the road

I'll write sentimental

Songs about the way you make me feel inside

As I lie beside you in our bed at night

And we can listen to the traffic

And I'll hold you tight

And tell you everything'll be alright

And it doesn't matter what I do or what I say

Because you're only gonna be yourself anyway

And I don't need to tell you anything anyway

To know that everything'll be alright

Don't ask me to spin you round

And dance with you

In our bed at night

And I can listen to

Don't ask me to walk 500 miles for you

Be alright

Don't ask me to sweep you up

And carry you across the threshold

Don't ask me to mend your broken car for you

Ahh
