you said you don’t want me to beg

after bright eyes - messenger bird’s song

 and i’m calling your name

    you made me come

                satisfying your needs       my arms stretched out front

   roll your eyes 

said get down on your knees

       i’m a girl still fumbling for

   a brief love affair 

  just say the word, love and of course i’ll stay

      and i know all about those things we can not speak

please don’t leave me blown away

but, i wanted to be easy so

i always returned
