Poor But Sexy

You say you don't want to hurt me
I seem kind of shy
And you've done so much wrong to so many like me

If you don't want to touch me
That's ok
We can connect in another way
I'm trying to find a way to make this clear to you
This is spiritual

You came to my party
And you danced with me
You put some very suggestive songs on a mix cd
And when I saw you next
You were dancing with another man
Your hands all up in his hair
And your hips like hams in his hands

And I said...
You don't have to hide
You don't have to lie
You can just tell me about it
I will not judge
I will not cry

I will take your confession
If I can't be the one you wrong
Then I will bear your burden
I just want to be close to you

I'm not talking about buying you a drink
Or driving you home
I don't have to be the background on your desktop
Or the speed dial on your phone

But when you love someone the way I love you
You take what you can get

I'll admit I entertained the thought that we could get along
The way that people do when they decide they're not lonely anymore
Sharing laughter sharing music
Just the two of us alone

(I guess I got a little bit carried away)

So when your friends won't listen
And your mother can't know
About the things you've done to the ones you love and the ones you don't
Call me up and tell me about it
And I will take your confession

I will take your confession
If I can't be the one you wrong
Then I will bear your burden
I just want to be close to you
