Q & A
by Alicia, December 3, 2001

Do you know what you do to me?
Do you think you know what I want?
How do you know you shouldn't leave me?
How do you know if this is the best?

I want someone to paint my feet ...and let me paint his too
I want a pounding heart beat
I want to run a circle coming back to you
I want to fit like a puzzle piece in your arms

Do you know that I want you to hurt me?
Do you know there is no darkness in me?
How do I know I can trust you?
How do I know how to hold you?

I want you to drag me to shocking places
I want you to wear me out before I sleep
I want you to know when I'm in pain
I want to want you

Am I walking right past you?
Are you waiting for me to do something right?
I'm not what you thought I'd look like
Someday it'll be time for us to be together

I need you to understand balance
I need you to be dirty from time to time
I need you to fight for what's right and
I need you to be convinced of what's wrong

I want a lot
Maybe we're out of luck
