I know she says she wants me 
I hear it every day 
And I know she know it keeps me 
Well there ain't no other way 
But she's got a heart must be made of stone 
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone 

She says 
Who said I would 
She knows it ain't easy for a simple boy like me 
She fills me full of loving 
Oh then she sets me free 
But she's got a heart must be made of stone 
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone 

She says 
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would 
Who said I would, who said I would 

I'm not the only one but I do fine 
I suit her purpose and I'm just her kind 
I don't own her and I never could 
Don't think I do, don't think I should 

Tell me 
Who said I would, who said I would 

But she's got a heart must be made of stone 
And when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone 

You're not the only one but you do fine 
You suit my purpose and you're just my kind 
I don't own me and you never could 
Don't think you do, don't think you should 

Who said I would (who said I would) 
Now she knows when she calls me 
I'll come running every time 
And she knows she gets me hot 
But she don't know it's her body never mine 

And she's got a heart must be made of stone 
'Cause when I tell her that she'll miss me when I'm gone 
She says 
Who said I would, tell me, who said I would 
Who said I would, who said I would
