I Want You

Oh my baby, baby . . . I love you more than I can tell
I don't think I can live without you
And I know that I never will
Oh my baby, baby . . . I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than I love you
Everything else is a waste of breath . . .

I want you
You've had your fun, you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
Be careful darling, you might fall . . .
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said, "Young man, I do believe you're dying . . ."
I want you
If you need a second opinion, as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generous and inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they re shaking for
It's knowing that he knows you now after only guessing
I want you
It's the thought of him undressing you or you undressing
I want you
He tossed some tatty compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when he said
I want you

I want you
The truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I wont know where to stop
I want you
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you
I want to know the things you did that we do too
I want you
I want to hear he pleases you more than I do
I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
Did you call his name out as he held you down
I want you
Oh, no, my darling, not with that clown . . .
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get, well, no more
I want you
No-one who wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed and when I wake up
I want you
I want you
I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it
I want you
I want you

Doomed

You can get pregnant in the perimenopausal period. Beth didn't realize this and was surprised when she entered labor - at age fifty.

Tomorrow, I will be fifty. I am not pregnant. I am not in menopause. I am in man-o-pause, though.

My daughter says to her "boyfriend," as I overhear it, "I don't want to totally gyp you of my awesomeness, but I kinda want to hang out with my Dad a little bit more."

I echo that sentiment. I don't want to be deleted. Get more space on your memory card if you need to, but please don't delete me. I know I won't be deleting you.
