Dewese-James
Say it aloud
Can you say it in a crowd? Don't make a sound.
Say it again
Say that you and I will be friends around the bend.
Would you lie?
Would you tell somebody a wonderful lie?
And if you go
Would you ask somebody to close the door?
Everyone needs somebody to love
You can't change this if you tried
Everyone needs somebody to love
Even you, even me.
The weekend waltz
Chamomile tea and late night talks but the alarm was false.
Let's make a pact
I'll show you my heart and you'll give it back, red and intact.
Could you lie?
Could you tell somebody, tell them a lie?
And if you go
Would you ask somebody to shut the door?
Everyone needs somebody to love
You can't change this if you try
Everyone needs somebody to love
Even you, even me
Even you, even me.
After the war
Apple jams and Sunday chores, I loved you more.
Indian rugs
Summer hours and lightning bugs, a goodbye shrug.
Could you lie?
Could you tell somebody, tell them a lie?
And if you go
Would you ask somebody to shut the door?
Everyone needs somebody to love
You can't change this if you try
Everyone needs somebody to love
Even you, even me
Even you, even me
Even you, even me.
