Lyric of the Week – He Makes Me Want Her Again
Ed Robertson is one of the two lead singers for the Barenaked Ladies. Occassionally Ed will write a song for someone else, and He Makes Me Want Her Again is one of those songs. If you dig around on the net, you’ll find an amateur recording of Ed singing this song as well — although he wrote it for an artist named John Berry.
Ed refers to this song as “obviously a country song”. I think when you read the sad lyrics, you’ll agree.

There is something in her smile
Everyone loves so much
No matter what she wears
She looks like a million bucks
The woman’s so graceful
So much in love
He makes me want her again
She’s made it all work out
The way it was meant to be
The trouble with doin’ that
Is not doin’ that with me
He makes her happy
He makes her whole
And he makes me want her again
Whatever he’s made of
Makes her so sure
Cause he makes the dream I had for us
Come true for her
She’s such a perfect mom
The boy’s almost half her size
He thinks he looks like her
But I know he’s got my eyes
He is an angel
But he breaks my heart
cause he makes me want her again
Whatever he’s made of…
He makes her happy
He breaks my heart he makes me want her again
