Like a Rock

I can’t believe that I could have been so foolish
So very wrong about important things
When somebody upstairs sent me an Angel
All I could do was pull the feathers from her wings

I can’t believe that I might have been unfaithful
I need someone else the way I need a comb
Why should I want a swig of Coca-Cola
When I’ve got Bollinger champagne on ice at home?

And so I try to love you like a rock
And so I try to love you like a stone
‘Cause rocks and stones don’t take positions
And don’t impose conditions of their own
All I can do is love you like a rock
Or something made of glass and stainless-steel
Something transparent and unending
That’s not always depending
On what you do, or how I feel

I can’t explain why we should be still together
The omens weren’t too good, you must agree
You’re not my type, you’re just a bit too clever
And heaven only knows what you can see in me

I don’t exude an attractive air of mystery
Don’t have the beauty and the power that go with youth
The days when those were mine are ancient history
And I never was that beautiful to tell the truth

But I can always love you like a rock
But I can always love you like a stone
‘Cause rocks and stones don’t take positions
And don’t impose conditions of their own
All I can do is love you like a rock
Or something made of glass and stainless-steel
Something transparent and unending
That’s not always depending
On what you do, or how I feel
