Love and Oxygen

from The Recipe by Jimmi Carr

lyrics

I am not a man of sweet seductive promises
I'm a stranger in a world of bright light
I am not a boy who's needs are your concern
I am asking only for love and oxygen

I have slapped the face of mercy
I shut my eyes and slowly sank
I'm not familiar with the light of day
And I only have my self to thank

If I show you my pain, will you take it away
If I show you my lies, will you make them truth
If I threaten to leave, will you ask me to stay
If I give you my love will you show me the proof

I am not the man that you have known
Don't ask me why but change has come
She's spread her wings and I am holding on
This life is surely strange and sweet for some

If I show you my pain, will you take it away
If I show you my lies, will you make them truth
If I threaten to leave, will you ask me to stay
If I give you my love will you show me the proof

I am not a man of sweet seductive promises
I'm a stranger in a world of bright light
I am not a boy who's needs are your concern
I am asking only for love and oxygen
