A Mary Chapin Carpenter moment

Jan 20, 2006 17:54

Have you ever tried to speak the truth instead of lie
When it seemed you had everything to lose
Have you ever tried to stand your ground instead of hide
When staying only made you look a fool

I wanna be your girlfriend, I wanna be your new love.
I wanna be the one that you can't get enough of.
I wanna be your girlfriend, nobody else's but yours,
I wanna be the one who you'll do anything for.

Do I want too much
Am I going overboard to want that touch
I shout it out to the night
"Give me what I deserve, 'cause it's my right"
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have this
Shouldn't I have all of this, and
Passionate kisses
Passionate kisses, whoa oh oh
Passionate kisses from you

Well something happens when you find someone
Who makes you feel like you can do no wrong
No you don't have to take the whole world on
Just be tender when you want to be

And I never would have known it baby
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too

It's the spell that can't be broken
It's your breath upon my neck
It's the words I long to tell you but haven't yet
It's the need to see you constantly
And the need to be alone
Just to balance out what's left of me
And what's too far gone
What if the night complied, bringing you to my door
What if I let you in, baby, isn't that what the night is for?

To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies.
You think about today and forget about the past
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

And every day that passes now, I s'pose I'm getting older
Wiser with the things I've done
But I hope I don't grow colder
And I'll touch you when I need a friend
Or just a small reminder
That I haven't grown too cold to feel
You penetrate my armor
