Near You

All I ever wanted is to be near you
in your arms
lips against your mouth
skin gently caressing your arm

but you push me away
like a storm in your path
like a bug on your sleeve
you always seem
to want me to leave

I wish you knew something about me
before you elicted to make up your mind
and at least get to know me
before you decide that I am
a waste of your time

I can't force you to stay
to give me a chance
to see me for all that I am
how can I get a shallow man like you to even notice me?
when I have been invisible to you
from day one
All you see is a pretty face
with a great body
you are so shallow
and naive
love like that
is not love at all
Don't you know that by now?

I seen you bounce from one girl to the next
your relationships
dam do they ever last?
and then you wonder why
when you are only in it
for that one that one thing

If you weren't so shallow
then you would see me
give me a chance
and get to know a woman
for something other than her looks

There is more to me
do you get that?
Are You capable of getting that?

All I ever wanted is to be near you
in your arms
lips against your mouth
skin gently caressing your arm
