Mike Gentile Poet Lyric

More Than I Should Know

Don’t tell me that you have a family
     I’d simply rather not think so
Cause, if we’re really gonna do this
     Then that’s just more than I should know

Don’t show me pictures, please don’t let me see
     C’mon, we really ought to go
Cause, if we’re gambling with feelings
     Then that’s just more than I should know

If you stop me now, there‘s a chance that I’ll
Find myself and walk away
But just one more drink and I might just think
There’s a good reason to stay

So please don’t tell me of your holidays
     Keep dancing while the lights are low
If you say anything at all tonight
     It will be more than I should know

Gershon Wolf May 30, 2018 at 12:41 PM Back again, Mike: Just don't want you to go overboard "getting in touch with your feminine side," if you know what I mean. Bottom line: The poem works; the refrain works. Does it seem to disregard female sensibilities? ---It seems to, a bit...That said, the poem works!! ~gw Mike Gentile May 30, 2018 at 3:03 PM Thanks GW !!!

Gershon Wolf May 29, 2018 at 8:15 PM Intriguing ink, Mike...The refrain certainly works quite well...though I imagine the womenfolk may not all take all-so-kindly to some of its implications... ~ Gershon Mike Gentile May 30, 2018 at 8:10 AM Wow, I never thought of that as it wasn't my intention but I can see your point. I'd better get more in touch with my feminine side for sure !!! Thanks

Silent One May 26, 2018 at 12:24 PM Interesting... You want her to be quiet and just enjoy a drink with you? Mike Gentile May 27, 2018 at 7:37 AM Well, it's easier to pretend that way, to ease guilt or rationalize, I think, That's what I was aiming for, Capiche??

Ferdie Doyon May 25, 2018 at 9:00 PM The ability to hold back objectively is quite a talent. Good work! Mike Gentile May 26, 2018 at 5:42 AM Thank you Ferdie !!!
