Please Let Me Please You


How can I be
What you want me to be
When all I want to be is what you need?
And you don’t need me
And you don’t need me

Please let me please you
Seems like everybody needs you
But when was the last time
That they gave back more than praise?
From all that bereaves you
Oh, please let me please you
It’s an audacious play
But I am trying to say thanks

Too tired to sleep
All your dishes in the sink
You’ve given too much of yourself away
Like horses are your friends
With a rope tied to each limb
To draw and quarter – upon your free time they descend

Please let me please you
Seems like everybody needs you
But when was the last time
That they gave back more than praise?
From all that bereaves you
Oh, please let me please you
It’s an audacious play
But I am trying to say thanks

Where we began
I can’t look back with steady hands
Cold are the nights of recalled yesterdays
So effortlessly
You pulled me out of spiraling
If only then to fall a separate way
Begging you to stay
Begging you to stay

Please let me please you
Seems like everybody needs you
But when was the last time
They called you not wanting something?
Don’t want to deceive you
It’s not for pity or to tease you
In my own selfish way
I am trying to say more than thanks
So Baby, please let me please you
Seems like everybody needs you
But when was the last time
That they gave back more than praise?
From all that bereaves you
Oh, please let me please you
It’s an audacious play
But girl you’ve got me tied to your flank
So please let me please you
You say that you don’t need me to
But please let me please you anyway
Oh, please let me please you
I don’t want to leave you
Please let me please you
All night
And all day
