FINAL EXAM
Darlin', I find it easier
To give than to receive,
But I know that's hard
For you to believe,
So you ask me to do things
As some sort of test
To see if I'm any different
Than all the rest.
When you want to find out if I'm your man,
You don't have to make no crazy demands.
You don't have to give me no final exam,
Just give me your trust.
Life’s an open-book test.
Honey, you must understand:
The answer’s right in your hand.
Now you're a smart girl,
Been to college and the rest,
And, Darlin', I'm sure
You passed every test,
But there are still some things
You don't understand,
Like how a woman learns
That a man is a man.
When you want to find out if I'm your man,
You don't have to make no crazy demands.
You don't have to give me no final exam,
Just give me your trust.
Life’s an open-book test.
Honey, you must understand:
The answer’s right in your hand.
You can dreamin' up test after test,
But I didn't come here
To prove I'm the best.
The way for you to find out
That my love isn't lust
Is take me at my word,
Give me your trust.
When you want to find out if I'm your man,
You don't have to make no crazy demands.
You don't have to give me no final exam.
