Can I?

I have nothing clever left to say No ace no lace left up my sleeve No prepared improv or self-taught pun I've only ever tried to be fun But you caught my eye I'll say I met my match so to speak Do you realise I'm here to stay? I only want to push you to your peak So convinced I'm playing my cards right It's not me that's the reason why nothing ever lasts long So convinced I'm playing my chords right It's the tuning that must be wrong Life must've been smooth Life must've been sweet Lick your wounds and soothe A bed of grass and bare feet Do you know nothing of life? Do you know so little of sweetness? Can I can I be your wife? I'm not easy but I'm helpless I playfight to know how it works I provocate to get the best of you Take the cons and reach the perks Call just to ask how do you do I haven't read what I'm supposed to I don't understand the likes of you Did I say the wrong thing again? I never really learnt how to keep friends I somehow surprise people from the get-go And then I bore them with my own hands Keep them close so they can watch from the death row But never close enough to understand I never told you to put all your eggs in my basket I never knew what to do with them Then you act stupid when I ask you it And leave me with my bleeding conscience Life must've been smooth Life must've been sweet Lick your wounds and soothe A bed of grass and bare feet Do you know nothing of life? Do you know so little of sweetness? Can I can I be your wife? I'm not easy but I'm helpless I have no choice and no right to speak And when I do I fear its content's bleak In comparison to the natural ones Or those blessed with more pros than cons So excuse me for getting used to being silent When I'm really trying not to say something dumb I'm awkward with humour but I'm trying To take advice and the days as they come Life must've been tough Can I have your heart to touch? Oh life must've been boresome Lick your wounds and move on Do you know nothing of life? Do you know so little of sweetness? Can I can I be your wife? I'm not easy but I'm helpless There's more there's more underneath This silence awkwardness and cheese Do you know so little of life? Oh can I? Can I be your wife?
