 I  am not smooth and  I am not soft
 and  I am not angry  or mean
 I'm  just a little shut off
 Shut  off like the answer no
 or  like the way water never  holds
 and  I want to be better  than I am
 Oh  yes and I want to need  nothing but your hands
 'Cause  mine are so weak
 Oh  but my body it  wants to move  in
 It  wants to move in
 And  your ankles are so strong
 I  have see you kick  when you swim
 You  kick when  you swim
 This  time I know this time that I know
 That  I am not wrong yeah
 But you know so dry and cracked my heart is set back
 Yeah just like the moon
 When it's a sliver resting on its back
 and I will not say
 Just exactly how I feel
 Before the answers have yet to be revealed
 Oh when my body it wants to move in
 it wants to move in
 And your ankles are so strong
 I have seen you kick when you swim
 You kick it when you swim
 this time that I know well this time that I know
 That I am not wrong
