What Do You Want The Girl To Do

Boz Scaggs

Transposer:

[Intro] Dsus2 Dsus2 [Verse 1] So you think the girl is crazy to eat up your lies like it’s good Your lies like apple pie; she don’t even cry. She is not a fool; she’s just tryin’ to do what her heart says to: To love you. And as you take it to the wind through the wind again she breaks And as she breaks down within She waits for you patiently hopin’ that someday you’ll see All she really wants to be is yours and yours alone eternally. [Chorus] What do you want the girl to do? Don’t you know you’re breakin’ the child in two? What do you want the girl to do? All she really wants is you. [Verse 2] She knows what you are; still she’ll be your queen if you let her Just say the word today; build a world around her. Now and then you’ll promise all the way out things you’re going to get her ’Cos maybe she knows better. As she watch you come and go for your show and as she watch your promises erode She waits for you patiently hopin’ that someday you’ll see All she really wants to be is yours and yours alone eternally. [Chorus] What do you want the girl to do? Can’t you see you’re breakin’ the child in two? What do you want the girl to do? All she really wants is you. [Chorus] What do you want the girl to do? Don’t you know you’re breakin’ the child in two? What do you want the girl to do? Can’t you see you’re breakin’ the child in two? (fade out)

La chanson évoque le désespoir d'une jeune femme qui semble prête à accepter des mensonges pour l'amour d'un homme. Elle ne pleure pas devant ses tromperies, montrant une force de caractère malgré tout, car son désir est de lui donner tout son cœur. Cependant, elle espère qu'il finira par réaliser qu'elle souhaite simplement lui appartenir, en toute loyauté. Malgré les promesses non tenues et l'absence de véritable engagement de sa part, elle reste patiente, attendant un jour un changement dans leur relation. Le contexte de la chanson pourrait se situer dans une dynamique amoureuse complexe, où l'un des partenaires se montre indécis ou insensible, ignorant l'amour sincère et dévoué de l'autre. Cela soulève la question de l'impact des comportements égoïstes dans une relation, mettant en lumière le besoin d'authenticité et d'engagement.
