I've never climbed a mountian never swam naked in a water fountain never traveled through the jungles in asia never spent quality time with a geisha never driven a lamborghini never had a girl's father real happy to see me never sowed my seed across seven continents and seas never got or caught any STDs never really learned how to accept defeat never had sex at 15000 feet. But I've jumped out a plane I've loved so hard they swore I was insane held hands with a tall Kristen in the skating rink had Lisa close the door faster than I could blink had Denise knock me down when I didn't love her had a girl screw me over though she knew I loved her had a broken heart when Nataline wanted to be just friends got to be square dance partners with Morgan in the end had two girls beat me at arm wrestling one made me cry chased another around the gym with red in my eyes played doctor with Amanda but transformers too though I never wanted to play with them as much as with you had dinner with many in expensive restaraunts had lunch with a couple in my favorite haunts seen movies, gone dancing, seen a play or two chased a lot, caught a couple, lost more than a few Though I never loved a woman the same way I love you. I've played descent so well I almost passed out from the adrenaline I've been so hyper I wanted to put me on ritalin I've done some things that still make me feel shame I've walked around downtown Paris in the rain I've driven in a cold wet dark alone lost and lonely I knew a girl or three who would compulsively phone me I've worked seventy-five hours straight without sleep or rest I've fought with the worst, the same, and the best I've not known the lyrics and still sang on stage I've beaten the boyfriend and still been enraged Hid from her father in the closet in the dark hid my feelings when abandoned in a parking lot held her so close asleep in my arms tried to shield and protect and keep her safe from harm hurt her so much that I grieved in alarm I've been sick long enough I thought I would die I've seen death coming so fast there wasn't time for life to flash before my eyes and when I didn't my only thought was of you I haven't had sex with that many women I haven't dated more than a several few I don't see how that mean that I can't love you I don't see how that means you can't love me too. maybe you're worried I haven't tasted enough maybe you think I don't understand sex or love Maybe you'll call me inexperienced maybe you'll realize that I never needed to taste jambalaya to know for sure that ever since I was five I knew that I'll always love chicken. Deep fried chicken. I'm a leg and breast man myself. Though I'd like to go for your thighs. I'll probably always love her. I'll probably always love you. And if I ever love another lady. I'll probably always love her too. And unless I change my type of profession, I'll probably always have soft programmer hands. Some things don't change. Don't tell me I don't know what I want. I love the taste of deep fried chicken. And I know it's gonna give me a heart attack someday. But if it makes you feel better you can go ahead and call me Inexperienced. |
