Poetry Monday

This week's ditty is one of my favorite Rick Springfield songs!

Woman

And I say no (no), no more, I can’t see you again



But I don’t know if I mean it


I don’t know if I just pretend


I make up my mind the feeling’s dead


But who’s fooling who inside my head


And I know that I had the feeling


That something’s wrong


It’s been out of my control for much too long


I always seem to want to fall in love


With the iron hand inside the velvet glove


But it feels too good






Oh woman, I need you (do you want me to beg)


I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)


Oh woman, I love you (when you take me to bed)


My private beatings never show


Woman when you make love you close your eyes


(and I get any closer to the mystery)


Oh woman, I need you (you must be the one)


Don’t cut me free ’cause I can’t be myself






The voices say (stand up), I wish that I could


I feel the nail being driven in


But there’s something about it that feels so good


You’re always the talk of the town


And the town won’t shut up talking


’til the king is crowned


And I know that I know you like it, hard and tough


There’s a lot of heat and spark, but that’s not enough


The actor wants to skip the final scene


Tho’ the keys are in the getaway machine


I just can’t go






Oh woman, I need you (do you want me to beg)


I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)


Oh woman, I love you (when you take me to bed)


My private beatings never show


Woman when you make love you close your eyes


(and I get any closer to the mystery)


Oh woman, I need you (you must be the one)


Don’t cut me free ’cause I can’t be myself






And I know that I get the feeling


There’s something wrong


It’s been out of my control for much too long


I always seem to want to fall in love


With the iron hand inside the velvet glove


But it feels so good






Oh woman, I need you (do you want me to beg)


I lost my pride long ago (and you know it)


Oh woman, I love you (when you take me to bed)


My private beatings never show


Woman when you make love you close your eyes


(and I get any closer to the mystery)


Oh woman, I need you (you must be the one)


Don’t cut me free ’cause I can’t be myself
