Robinson Crusoe from Lake Champions by Randy Kaplan

"Robinson Crusoe" by Randy Kaplan

You will live your life so you will have something to say to me
You will do your job so you'll have money to pay for me
I will be your only love you'll shiver at the sight of me
And when I feel like chasing you you will take flight from me
But you will bring me anything my little heart desires
In the summer you will fan me in the winter light the fires

You will make my troubles vanish in the air
You will brush against me and you'll let me brush your hair
You'll hold me like a baby whenever I am weak
You'll hold it all inside you when I don't want you to speak
You'll be there when I call on you sitting by the phone
But you'll be someplace else when I want to be alone

And then I’ll become Robinson Crusoe
And it will not be like it used to
Then we will begin again there is no doubt about it
Once you deal with worship you can never deal without it

You'll know what to pray for when you get down on your knees
You'll show a sudden interest in whatever interests me
You will make the bed and do the laundry and the dishes
I'll open up a bottle and you'll come out and grant me wishes
You'll feed my every hunger you'll quench my every thirst
And when the big boat comes for us you'll make sure I go first

And then you'll be done with Robinson Crusoe
And it will not be what you're used to
Then you will begin again there is no doubt about it
Once you deal with worship you can never deal without it
