He wants me He says. Don't they all? I am tired of being wanted. I am tired of being needed. You have yourself a passel of kids Out your own wahoo -- You wouldn't want to be wanted neither. Don't want me. Don't need me. Bring me flowers and roses And mix tapes And doughnuts On Sunday morning. Kiss me. Sweep me up in your arms. Look me in the eyes. That would send me. Bring me. Send me. Don't want me. Don't need me. The want and the need make me tired. The bring and the send makes me free! But. Maybe. He, too, is tired of being wanted and needed. Well. Then. What are we to do? Want and need one another? No. Too many competing demands. Take my hand. Please. Just tell me you love me. Don't want me. Don't need me. Just love me. And I will just love you.
