I'm a fool to want you
To want a love that can't be true
A love that's there for others too
I'm a fool to hold you
Such a fool to hold you
To seek a kiss, not mine alone
To share a kiss, the devil has known
Time and time again, I said I'd leave you
Time and time again, I went away
But then would come the time when I would need you
And once again, these words I'll have to say
Take me back, I love you, pity me, I need you
I know it's wrong, it must be wrong
But right or wrong, I can't get along
Without you

after she sang, she looked out into the smoke-filled room and saw him sitting off to the side, drinkin his "Old Fashioned" like the creature of habit he was. she ran off the stage to greet him and sat on his lap... planting a full set of butterfly kisses all over his face. "did you like the song sweetheart?!?". after takin a sip of his drink and settin it down easy, he said "yeah baby i dug it. you sang it sweet-like and you know i dig it when you sing sweet-like. can i ask you a question? was that about me?" sheepishly, with a bit of a sigh, she responded "i mean, sorta, but i ain't unhappy. i just wish i was... what we have would make more sense if i was". drawing her in closer and looking directly into her eyes he said "true love is for fools, poets and those willing to find deep value where they can. baby... we are who and what we are and one thing is for damn sure, i'm a blessed man to get to love and be loved by a woman like you... right now and for as long as i can. if you can live with that... love with that... then so can i"
