I am not a devil, I am not a saint
Can't tell if the wood is good by looking at the paint
It's not that I don't love you, some words are just hard for me to say
I wish I was a poet, honey, I'm not built that way
I know someone hurt you, that's all in the past
He was a saint
I just want to hit and run, but I don't work like that
It's gonna take forever to finish what we started here today
I just can't lie about it, honey, I'm not built that way
I'm built to go the distance
Solid as a rock
I climb all my mountains to the top
And I won't run for cover
Even when our sunny skies turn gray
Honey, I'm not built that way
Saying it is one thing
Proving it takes time
But the thought that I don't love you
Should never cross your mind
I'm built to go the distance
Solid as a rock
I climb all my mountains to the top
And I won't run for cover
Even when our sunny skies turn gray
Honey, I'm not built that way
I'm not built that way
I'm not built that way
I'm built that way
you
