(Matthew and Gunnar Nelson) Matthew Nelsongs/Gunnar Nelsongs; BMI (c) 1996, All Rights Reserved Since the very first time when your eyes met mine I've been making a habit of crossing the line I want you-do you want me too? Well, do ya? Okay, I did it. I came to you and begged. I still don't know what you think I did, but - know what? It doesn't matter. I'll do whatever you say if you'll let me be with you. Since your push came to shove I'm a fool for your love-going way too far just isn't enough I want you-do you want me too? Would I give in if it's ever a tie? Would I take the fall if you're caught in a lie? Would I always jump then say, "How high?" No more cons. No more secrets or hiding. Sure, fine. I never conned you anyway. And I only kept one secret from you. But 'Pol, it was a *good* secret, I swear! But that's beside the point. I'll live under surveillance full-time for as long as it takes. Well I have to admit I'm a lunatic-acting crazy for you, I'm committed to it I want you-do you want me too? I was Jeckyll, now I'm Hyde-yeah dignity-wise I got plenty of room left to swallow more pride Just say, "I do"... that you want me too I changed long before you dumped me - or I walked out - whichever way you want it to be - that's the way it happened. You never saw that I changed though, did you? It's okay. I wouldn't have believed me either. But I did. Would I be the steel between you and a gun? Would I be the glue when you're comin' undone? Would I always swear you look much too young? I would if you want me to I'll always be here for you, Apollo. No matter what. Nothing matters except you'll let me try to prove myself again. I thought I could show you how much you meant to me, but that backfired. I think I've finally figured out what happened. One secret. It was supposed to be a surprise, so I hid it from you. And you thought ... Yeah, I would've thought the same thing: Starbuck, reverting to type. Would I cut a deal when you're payin' your dues? Would I vote no on my right to choose? Would I throw away my walkin' shoes? I would if you want me to I would if you want me to So now I'll tell you in words: I'm under your command - on-duty, off-duty, at all times. Do what you want with me, to me. To tell you the truth there ain't no use denying you're my what, when, where and why Put me to the test and I'll put to rest any doubt in your mind I want you to do more than just be on your guard. Give me orders. Give me grief. Just don't give me away. . No. You can even give me away if that's what you need to do to trust me. I'll go with whoever you give me to. You know ... you're the only one who knows the things I'm afraid of. Tell me and I'll ... I'll do whatever you want. Anything Would I get real when you're being a fake? Would I counter every bad move you make? Would I let you have all the time you could take? I would if you want me to Take forever to decide you can trust me, Apollo. It's okay. I'll wait. As long as I can wait beside you. Would I take you home when you've got nowhere to go? Would I call the cops when you're stealing the show? Would I knock you down when the bombs gonna blow? I would if you want me to I would if you want me to I would if you want me to Just tell me what you want, Apollo. I'll give my life for you. 'Cause I don't have a life without you.
