I know the situation’s DELICATE
& it’s bound to be a mess.
But I’m STARVING for your touch
& I’m here in my little black DRESS,
SITTING, WAITING, WISHING, remembering
how you LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO
– with your truths and LIES IN THE DARK
mixed together and bonded with glue.
As you whisper it in my ear, I say ‘okay’
because I CAN’T GET ENOUGH of you.
You say you’re not going to LET ME GO
& you LOVE ME HARDER than anyone else.
NOBODY’S BETTER than you and your love
& I ONLY WANT YOU, no more, no less.
Now, you want THE CHASE to end;
you want something real and steady.
So you TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.
Now, I’m getting greedy and NEEDY.
BREAK UP WITH YOU GIRLFRIEND,
I’M BORED of waiting for you already.
