I want to be like Rachael Ray
Not for money or fame but because
I'd deliver my perfect eggplant parmesan
To great enthusiastic applause

I'd like to slice an onion, too
Just like the smiling Rachael does
Or complete a sweet peach cobbler
To the sound of ooh's and aah's

You don't have to weep with joy often
Over last night's chocolate mousse batch
Just put your hands together, can't you?
To deliver that 5-minute clap

I know it sounds quite arrogant
Desiring such full appreciation
But that feeling keeps washing over me
Wanting accolades for my creations

Just once as I set dinner on the table
They all inhale in admiration
While they leap to their feet spontaneously
To give me my standing ovation!
I'll give you
something else
to toy with,
so you can leave
my heart
alone.
Darling I'm like a broken record
you can go 'head and try to play me
but if you do your gonna run into some problems
I won't guarantee either of us will come out unharmed

I'm like your friends playlist on shuffle
you never know what your gonna get
You better be prepared
Cause even I don't know where I'm going

I'm like that all-of-a-sudden road-trip
you don't know where your going
as long as it's somewhere
who knows where the road will take us?

I'm like that unexpected storm
Insane and out of no where
Beautiful in my own way
and strong in every way

I'm like that one book
with all the perfect lines and replies
with an unexpected ending
and leaves you begging for the sequel

I'm like no one you've ever met before
I still don't know if that's good or bad
I guess we'll both have to trust me
Here we go, are you ready?

I want to tell every addict in the world how high I get looking at you.
When I'm looking at you, I never want that blade again. I never want anything else in my lungs but your breath. I don't want anything shooting up my nose but the smell of you every time we finally meet again. I don't want anything running through my veins, except this burning love.
When I'm looking at you, everything makes sense.
God help me if I ever have to go through withdrawal again.
You're in my veins,  you're making me see things.
