I want somebody who sees the pointlessness 
and still keeps their purpose in mind 
I want somebody who has a tortured soul 
some of the time 
I want somebody who will either put out for me 
or put me out of misery 
or maybe just put it all to words 
and make me say, you know 
I never heard it put that way 
make me say, what did you just say? 
I want somebody who can hold my interest 
hold it and never let it fall 
someone who can flatten me with a kiss 
that hits like a fist 
or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall 
because if you hear me talking 
listen to what I'm not saying 
if you hear me playing guitar 
listen to what I'm not playing 
and don't ask me to put words 
to all the spaces between notes 
in fact if you have to ask, forget it 
do and you'll regret it 
I'm tired of being the interesting one 
I'm tired of heving fun for two 
just lay yourself on the line 
and I might lay myself down by you 
but don't sit behind your eyes 
and wait for me to surprise you 
I want somebody who can make me 
scream until it's funny 
give me a run for my money 
I want someone who can 
twist me up in knots 
tell me, for the woman who has everything 
what have you got? 
I want someone who's not afraid of me 
or anyone else 
in other words I want someone 
who's not afraid of themself 
 
do you think I'm asking too much?
