RELATIONSHIPS ARE COMPLICATED

Just the Way I Like It

I brag about my exploits
And you don’t talk - just the way I like it.
Your place is a guarantee
For some fun, some food, some misunderstanding
Between you and I.
You don’t know me.
You see what I say and hear what I do.
I’m what?  You’re blind.
Are we that much alike?  Do I frustrate you?
What I need is the perfect man.
Bits of you and pieces of me.
Hold me longer–I love the way you make me feel–sometimes.
