A Plea For Tenderness
Now girls, do you hate men? Well you know, sometimes you just don't talk to them And that's sad ‘Cause I can see tenderness in your faces And innocence straight from infant days And there must be tenderness deep inside Oh you're so cold, but it still shows Well I can take a vacant stare Well it's so much to say Now, it seems a waste But if you don't want me to know What's going on inside Just tell me now and I'll go You told me about school I only want to know about you And I'm hungry for it now I'm starving for it now And now you know But if you care about me (Tell me now) If I'm better than the wall (Tell me now) If it's important that I touch your arm at night Letras de cancionesYou'd better Tell me now You know, I've just read some writers now From the old days Because I knew, I knew that they'd understand That's right Because dignity and tenderness Right, should apply (they could apply) To modern romance, yeah. So don't tell me dear, don't tell me any words About your school, or your homework now I'm not going to be interested in stories About your stupid pet cats (so, what do I care now?) Just talk about love, or sex, or starving hearts, or just shut up And I'll go But If you care about me now (Tell me now) If I'm better than the wall now (Tell me now) If it's important when I touch you're hand (Tell me now) If you care about being alone at all (Tell me now) If it hurts, to be alone in your kitchen The way you've been staying over these past few months (Heh, better tell me now) If it hurts to not be honest with yourself The way you have been the past few years (it seems) (Then tell me now) Because uh, I've been starving for warmth You never give me any warmth oh You can't hide anymore, Or take drugs, Or smoke cigarettes Or have alcohol Or make up all this other bullshit that you use in your life In your life, so I can't see you clear In your life, you know I can't see you clear, in your life You know I can't stay this way Stand to hurt this way Plan to go to bed alone And to feel the pride inside and hurt Then to feel while you go to waste Then to feel this way Alone in the dark All alone in the dark, I stand All alone I stand I stand in the dark outside your door And I wait to see if I should go inside Because it hurts when you don't talk to me And we just pretend That's right we just pretend Then I won't have it anymore, never I've had it, yeah. Because, I can't stand to be alone at night And I can't stand to pretend to be together at night. Oh You can't hide, Take drugs with me Smoke cigarettes Or alcohol Or this other shit that you use in life So I can't see you clear, I want to see you clear You got to say it now If you care about me then you'd better tell me now Yeah, oh, oh, yeah See dear, I know how beautiful death is And I know why you hate life But I'm just now, a tender soul And be glad you know You see, All men are just tender souls And be glad I told you And be glad that you know From Letras Mania
