She's got smart-bomb eyes but they see no wrong
She don't understand there's a war going on
Melt my heart like lead-she got no x-ray sight
She says a day's a day and a night's a night
She don't see no blinding flashes
Says why don't I hold her hand

She don't have a clue
But she's mine
She is love, love, love

Say she must be mad, the girl has got no nerves
Never throws no stones, knows no dirty words
She will stumble on something good to say
In the darkest scene of your darkest day
She don't feel no threat in living
Asks if I've got a kiss to give her

She don't have a clue
But she's mine
Says "I am what I am"

She doesn't seem to dream, hears no distant drums
Says I worry too much, thinks I'm just plain glum
She doesn't lie awake, doesn't feel no rain
She's the only one that I know who's sane
She don't hear no shells exploding
Says why don't I hold her closer

She don't have a clue
But she's mine
She is love, love, love
Says "I am what I am"
