Well, you gave all you're giving tonight You say boil it to down so I will try Didn't mean to hold you so down tight Something about the road Makes it hard to let go I don't want to be your container When I'm working for you, my love I just want to be your sustainer On your back like the man I suppose Never thought I would say it's the way things go Oh, heavy anchor wasn't the job that I chose If I lose my grip, Just don't let me miss the ship I don't want to be your container When I'm working for you, my love I just want to be your sustainer There's no path in the many wounds Wrap around you, we push and we pull One time, can I be a stable bridge for you? But you ask if I'm scared, yes, I'm scared But to make it right, yes sir, I'm prepared I don't want to be your container When I'm working for you, my love I just want to be your sustainer I don't want to be your container When I'm working for you, my love I just want to be your sustainer Your maintainer, your sustainer
