If you want someone to be there for you, <br />If you want someone to take care of you, <br />If you want an old-fashioned lover, <br />Then here I stand- <br />Then I’m the one you want. <br /> <br />If you want some kind of laureate, <br />To write about your eyes, <br />Or some kind of scribe, <br />Hidden beneath a disguise, <br />Then I’m the one you want. <br /> <br />If you want some kind of sacrifice, <br />Or just another passage of rites, <br />Or someone who won’t leave you alone, <br />Who’d walk the desert sands for you, <br />Then I’m the one you want. <br /> <br />The void is too big <br />And the gap too empty, <br />And these thoughts I can’t control, <br />And these promises I made to you, <br />I doubt if I can keep. <br /> <br />But a guy never got the girl, <br />By begging on his knees, <br />Crawling in the dirt <br />And singing your praises, <br />He's not the one you want. <br /> <br />So if you want a guy, <br />Who can’t pick up his voice to sing, <br />And sticks pins in that voodoo doll <br />Of the guy that isn’t him, <br />Then I guess I’m the one you want.<br /><br />Charlie F.
