Asking Too Much - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
I want somebody who sees the pointlessnessand still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soulsome of the time
I 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 know
I 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 I'm not sayingif you hear me playing guitarlisten to what I'm not playingand don't ask me to put wordsto all the spaces between notesin fact if you have to ask, forget itdo and you'll regret it
I'm tired of being the interesting one
I'm tired of heving fun for twojust lay yourself on the lineand I might lay myself down by youbut don't sit behind your eyesand wait for me to surprise you
I want somebody who can make mescream until it's funnygive me a run for my money
I want someone who cantwist me up in knotstell me, for the woman who has everythingwhat have you got?I want someone who's not afraid of meor anyone elsein other words I want someonewho's not afraid of themselfdo you think I'm asking too much?
