That's What Lovers Do

I’ll give a little more. That’s what lovers do!
I’m so sad. Help me out! Babe, I can’t lie -
Can’t stop remembering my lips on you.
Miss you love you. Please don’t make me cry.

I’m so sad. Help me out! Babe, I can’t lie -
It’s harder to breathe when we’re apart.
Miss you love you. Don’t make me cry.
Take what you want. I give you my heart.

It’s harder to breathe when we’re apart.
I’m back at your door. Give me one more night!
Take what you want. I give you my heart.
We’ll figure it out. We can make it all right!

I’m back at your door. Give me one more night!
You can’t just unkiss me and say that we’re done.
We’ll figure it out. We can make it all right!
It was always you, Sugar. You’re the only one.

You can’t just unkiss me and say that we’re done.
I can’t stop remembering my lips on you.
It was always you, Sugar. You’re the only one.
I’ll give a little more. That’s what lovers do!

How you can connect titles together like they are meant to be is beyond what I can even comprehend. So very well done.

You tied these titles together beautifully Andrea. I am pretty lousy at writing in this form or I would try it. Best of luck in the contest. I bet you got a lot of comments on your Cinder Girl poem? I'm feeling better today and enjoying poetry. xxoo

As I was reading I'm thinking this is so good, not realizing you were using song titles, and then was amazed. These are connected beautifully. Another winner for you I'm thinking.

Beautiful flow, Andrea. I would not have guessed they were song titles.

Wow, Andrea, this is written so well; you really know how to write a pantoum. I love the phase "you can't just unkiss me." Best of luck in the contest, it's a winner in my book. John
