Notes About The Poem

Love You Any Harder

Love You Any Harder

You might find another man your mister so and so.
Take you places you ain't seen you always hoped to go.
Lots of money in the bank and a whole lot better looking.
Someone who washes pots and pans from all his exotic cooking.

Who wears a custom three piece suit and drives a fancy car.
With a butler or a maid to stock his custom sushi bar.
A doctor or a lawyer too you might find a man that's smarter.
But you ain't ever gonna find a man to love you any harder.

To stand beside you through it all and let the whole world know.
Until I need to step out front and take it blow by blow.
To hold you when the north wind blows and keep you nice and warm.
To fight against the wind and rain to stand against the storm.

Treat you like an angel tell you things will be alright.
Then turn around with lights down low and love you like a devil at night.
Yeah maybe you can find someone you can beg or steal or barter.
But you ain't ever gonna find a man to love you any harder.

Sometimes there are no words and this is one of those sometimes. . . . .

It's not about the money. We are a low income family just trying to make it. But there isn't a day that goes by that we don't say "I love you" at least 20 times. Good write. Keep the love alive.

Rockman. I want you to know that you have inspired a poem I'm now working on based on some things you said. Thank you sir for being an inspiration to me.

Having lots of money means nothing to me Edwin - having good health is more important - something no amount of money can buy... I know which man I'd rather have - someone to stick by me during the good times and bad the happy and sad :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
