To Touch You

Oh, how I long to touch you
                     it’s just that  “I’m all thumbs”
and you deserve much more than just
                            a few remaining crumbs!
  
“An arm and a leg”, I would give
                     for one more chance, you see
But then again, if that's the case,
                            just where would we be?

You know that  “I’m all ears”
                     for any thoughts you’d share
But for a man “all thumbs and ears"
                           just why would you care?

“It’s as plain as the nose on your face!”
                         I need  “all hands on deck”
But with my lips, (I just have two!)
                               I could kiss your neck

“Ants in my pants” I hear you say
                   But just what would you know
As you’re the one here “all dressed up 
                                  with nowhere to go!”

“If all that glitters is not gold”
                    and I’m “all talk and no action“
Take off the makeup and go tp sleep
                            We’ll get no satisfaction!
