You think I'm like your mother Or another lover or your sister Or the queen of your dreams
Or just another silly girl
When love makes a fool of me
After the rush When you come back down
You're always disappointed
Nothing seems to keep you high
Drive your bargains Push your papers Win your medals **** your strangers Don't it leave you on the empty side
I'm looking for affection and respect
A little passion and You want stimulation nothing more
That's what I think
But you know I'll try to be there for you
When your spirits start to sink
All this talk about holiness now
It must be the start of the latest style
Is it all books and words or Do you really feel it Do you really laugh Do you really care Do you really smile
When you smile
You criticize and you flatter
You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most Are the times when you don't try
When you don't even try
