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

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

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

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
