God's Gift To Man
Lyricist:Tom Petty
Well, I met him in the Navy He was the head of the class She was a cute little thing He liked the way she shook her glass
And they went off to Texas And they bought some land, yeah And they settled in a hobo Home by a taco stand
He was doin' things he didn't understand There was no way to explain it She was God's gift to man
Well, he got a promotion And he bought himself a color TV Had the cable put in And they watched a round of 'Jeopardy'
And they sat out in the evening And they watched the sun go down And everything they did They were livin' on the outside of town
Well, the time went by That he didn't understand She was God's gift to man Yeah baby, tell me, tell me real good Don't you know that we're livin' Jjust like a young boy should? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Well, she went off to Houston Where she was livin' in sin Well, he built an office building But nobody moved in
She wound up in El Paso On the streets again It was hard to take it But sometimes you just can't win
It was after a little way That he didn't understand And couldn't understand that She was God's gift to man
Well, I seen her on TV just a couple of nights ago She was a doin' a commercial Smilin' with some Ivory soap
Well, I knew inside her heart was black as coal There ain't no way to replace The amount of lovin' that little girl stole
Yeah, one day she got it comin' And she won't understand her niche She's God's gift to man Yeah, I've been doin' things that I don't understand Yeah, she's God's gift to man Yeah, yeah, yeah
