[Verse 1]
Oh, I tried to let you let yourself go
But then my arms won’t let you
Oh, I tried to hold you hold yourself up
But then my arms always caught you
[Chorus]
Let’s put our fingers in our fingers
And, oh my, what are those
Brown eyes that look back at me?
If I'm a singer you’re a singer
We’re a duet of those low and highs that make harmony
[Post-Chorus]
I could make you so happy
I could make you so happy
[Verse 2]
Oh, I tried to back your back when you lead
But then you’re easy to follow
Oh, I tried to make you make you love me
But then your heart’s never hollow
[Chorus]
Let’s put our fingers in our fingers
And, oh my, what are those
Brown eyes that look back at me?
If I'm a singer you’re a singer
We’re a duet of those low and highs that make harmony
[Post-Chorus]
I could make you so happy
I could make you so happy
[Bridge]
I could untie all your knots
Make you feel good when you’re not
Just so you could be so happy
I could roll up all the dirt into flowers when you’re hurt
You would always be so happy
I would blow out all the smoke
Make you whole when you were broke
I just want you to be so happy
I would tear down all the walls
I would do anything at all to make you so happy
[Verse 1]
Oh, I tried to let you let yourself go
But then my arms won’t let you
Oh, I tried to hold you hold yourself up
But then my arms always caught you
[Chorus]
Let’s put our fingers in our fingers
And, oh my, what are those
Brown eyes that look back at me?
If I'm a singer you’re a singer
We’re a duet of those low and highs that make harmony
