Putty

from Bound to Love by Jess Klein

lyrics

I'm too old to waste anyone's time pretending anymore
Much too bold to walk anyone's lines
The drama was a bore
So I'll tell you what crosses my mind
While your line crosses the floor
Yeah I'll tell you the question I ask
While your frame hangs in my door

Would I be putty in your hands
Putty in your hands
And buddy can you stand the love
If you don't wanna walk away
Use your hands to play
The clay that you been dreamin' of

First you're here then you're gone from my life
Did you think that I cared?
You don't know what kind of fun I have
When you're not even there
Maybe there's only one thing remiss
With this mental love affair
Maybe there's only one thing I miss
And it's the one thing we never share

Would I be putty in your hands
Putty in your hands
And buddy can you stand the love
If you don't wanna walk away
Use your hands to play
The clay that you been dreamin' of
Would I be putty in your hands
Putty in your hands
ANd buddy what will you do when
I've laid it all out on the floor
And I ain't got no more
Lazy days or time to spend

Yeah I"m asking you what I'm asking you
No I'm not gonna die if you just leave
But I'm so tired of tryin' I'm tasking you
With telling me just what I should believe

I could freeze like a statue right now
And not be mortal again
So you'd best get to tellin' me how
And what shape you'll have me in

Chorus
