I am a woman of heart and mind
With time on her hands
No child to raise

You come to me like a little boy
And I give you my scorn and my praise
You think I'm like your mother

Or another lover or your sister
Or the queen of your dreams
Or just another silly girl

When love makes a fool of me
After the rush when you come back down
You're always disappointed

Nothing seems to keep you high
Drive your bargains
Push your papers

Win your medals
$#&@ your strangers
Don't it leave you on the empty side

I'm looking for affection and respect
A little passion
And you want stimulation-nothing more

That's what I think
But you know I'll try to be there for you
When your spirits start to sink

All this talk about holiness now
It must be the start of the latest style
Is it all books and words

Or do you really feel it?
Do you really laugh?
Do you really care?

Do you really smile
When you smile?
You criticize and you flatter

You imitate the best
And the rest you memorize
You know the times you impress me most

Are the times when you don't try
When you don't even try
