comparison

lover dear
would you please not make a sound tonight
i just like not to fear
you leaving in the morning light
i know you've been forsaken
and i know you've never been
the only heart
loved by
all the other men

could you please
just sit without a whisper now
i'd like to feel at ease
and not think about the why's and how's
i've got a little time
at least 'til half past ten
i've got a little more to give
than all the other men

just do not say
another wilting wasted word
i've learned that what you've said
ain't exactly what i've heard
and all i have to say
about this new problem
is that i will never be
like all the other men
