I say I need you
                                                   You hear I want you
                                                       I say I love you
                                                   You hear I need you
                                                 I say come live with me.
                                             You hear please support me.
                                                     I say I'm too tired
                                               You hear I don't want you.
                                          If you would LISTEN to the words
                                           as they are SAID then what you 
                                      THINK they mean won't tear us APART.
