Thinking Man - Joan Armatrading

In the new edition

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
