Well, OK....if you insist and since this is a hijacking effort, I'll do one more song before I go to bed.

Last song, folks!

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
{getting emotional} I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

{extending imploring hand}At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly {eyes misting}

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

{cheesy crescendo} And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much {sob}
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die {heart-rending shivery breath}
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
