[Verse 1:]
If you don't want a daughter
Then I'll give you a son
I'll give you every penny
For every song that I've sung.

[Chorus:]
Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes.

[Verse 2:]
You can be the captain
I'm surrendering my boat
If you're tired of southern, baby
We're sailing north.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I can tell the angels
They can take me instead
Cause baby if you'll go missin'
Then I'll probably be there.

[Chorus:]
Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Yeah oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah oh, my soul shakes.
