I Know
the sidewalk ended too soon
on a dimly lit street
the shadows took you away
and left me defenseless
on the wrong side of the tracks
I want you back
but my cat ate your number
if I could hear your voice again
I know I would know
you always knew
I only knew that you were female
and sexy as hell
and you knew how to kiss
but you told me
love happened for you
when you saw me
and it was confirmed
when I pulled you into my arms
and you smelled my cologne
being alone sucks
when your hindsight
is kicking your ass
with a vengeance
at the time my crime was not knowing
like you knew
I didn't think I needed a girl who
was in the know
I thought I needed a Marilyn Monroe
blonde and bodacious
and calling me
up late on a weeknight
crying, drunk
thinking I was the only cure
sure
I'm a man
easily distracted by animal lust
but you must know
there was something about you
that tugs at my bathrobe
and leaves me naked
