Do You Want Me? What's the Matter?

- Do you want me? what's the matter?
- you're afraid some door will close?
- you want the scent without the rose?
- the muah's of love without the chatter?

You think our love might be a tomb?
the only exit through my pain?
you'd rather put things off again
to give your fantasies some room?

You think: she's great, but in a while
i might get bored? or something better,
filling out a tighter sweater, might flash me a quick
come - on smile/

You dont want to be tied just yet
to just one future, just one kiss?
you think about all you might miss
and hold out for a better bet?

well fine!!! but then why do you haunt me
like a jackal night and day?
why, when my interest seems to stray
are you so sure of what you want?

why, when i dare so much as laugh
at some guys jokes, you go ballistic,
nasty, borderline sadistic,
as if somebody touched your stuff?

and yet when i hook on to you
you will not let yourself be mine
take out your fears and draw a line
between what you and i can do?

but freedom must be mutual
and it takes two for one embrace,
you can't both love and freedom chase
unless you would adore a fool.
