Ani Difranco - Asking Too Much Lyrics
I want somebody who sees the pointlessnessAnd still keeps their purpose in mindI want somebody who has a tortured soulSome of the timeI want somebody who will either put out for meOr put me out of miseryOr maybe just put it all to wordsAnd make me say, you knowI never heard it put that wayMake me say, what did you just say?I want somebody who can hold my interestHold it and never let it fallSomeone who can flatten me with a kissThat hits like a fistOr a sentence, that stops me like a brick wallBecause if you hear me talkingListen to what Im not sayingIf you hear me playing guitarListen to what Im not playingAnd dont ask me to put wordsTo all the spaces between notesIn fact if you have to ask, forget itDo and youll regret itIm tired of being the interesting oneIm tired of heving fun for twoJust lay yourself on the lineAnd I might lay myself down by youBut dont sit behind your eyesAnd wait for me to surprise youI want somebody who can make meScream until its funnyGive me a run for my moneyI want someone who canTwist me up in knotsTell me, for the woman who has everythingWhat have you got?I want someone whos not afraid of meOr anyone elseIn other words I want someoneWhos not afraid of themselfDo you think Im asking too much?
