I wasn't getting any. So I thought it unfair for the rest of you to get any too.
lyrics
I dare not erase you from my memory
Though you make my red eyes wetter
But, I always find you in my sleep.
You were my friend
And now you are my lover under covers
Oh my dear lady
You oh yes you were the light and I was a mirror
You remind me of the last man that I knew
and you feel my body just like he used to
But I feel his hands when I go to sleep
and the fire between my thighs
I missed you before I knew you
I missed love before I knew
Why oh why am I never satisfied?
So I beg and plead and need and then I try again
You want sex with an older man.
Now sex with a younger girl.
You let sex define yourself
In quintessential measurements
Of inches and time.
But where is the feeling?
It's always under covers
When I'm asleep
