Thinking Man
Joan Armatrading · Other Songs - Joan Armatrading
I'm gonna rule out friction
I'm gonna get someone
Who understands
I want a heart less demanding
Speak your mind but standing
Cuddling close
Cuddling close
A thinking man's what I want
In action and in words
A thinking man's what I need
And if you can't give respect
It's better we don't start
I've had enough indifference
I, I, I
That's all I heard
That's all I heard
I want someone who listens
No fighting for position
No other self
To have to satisfy
Oh, I wanna be with you
I know that you want me too
Say it's not just for my body
Give me piece of mind
Give me piece of mind
In the new edition
I'm gonna rule out friction
Cuddling close
Cuddling close
