Needle Can't Burn (What the Needle Can't Find)

I don't want to spend the rest of my life Starin' at a man, Looking down a line What's he say? "Not my style" Just a stylized version of an obsolete file I don't want to spend the rest of my time Lookin' for the words I'm never going to find You read them in a book and apply them to your life But how can I be as pretty as she writes? I know I'm all right, because The needle can't burn what the needle can't find She don't want to spend the rest of her heart Waste it on a job, and never get a start Part of her says she should be herself And part of her says she should be with someone else I don't want to spend the rest of my life Looking for a girl I'm never gonna find Starin' back at me when I come home at night But how can she be as pretty as I write? It will be hard, but I know I'm all right because The needle can't burn what the needle can't find And the money won't save what the money Can't buy And part of me is safe And part of me is lies So be mine tonight
