Message to My Girl

I don't want to say I love you
Tha twould give away too much(it's) Hip to be detached and precious
The only thing you feel is vicious
I don't wanna say I want you
Even though I want you so much
It's wrapped up in conversation
It's whispered in a hush
Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time that it was heard
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that
And now I wake up happy
Warm in a lovers embrace
No one else can touch us
While we're in this place
So I'll sing it to the world
This simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that--Though I'm frightened by the word
Think it's time I made it heard
So I sing it to the world
Simple message to my girl
No more empty self-possession
Vision swept under the mat
It's no new years resolution
It's more than that
No there's nothing quite as real
As a touch of your sweet hand
I can't spend the rest of my life
Buried in the sand.
