Take What I Can Get

I don't know what it is about you
I can't seem to get you off my mind
Is it the fact that there's a challenge?
It could be that you're one of a kind.

I know that you are spoken for
But you still spend time with me
It seems the more that we are together
The more I want US to be

I can tell that there's some kind of attraction
You've told me that this is true.
We both know that I feel the same
But I'll take what ever I can get from you.

My desire for you is getting stronger
I thought friendship was all I'd want
But each time that I am with you
The more it seems it's not

There's something on your mind
But you don't want me to know
Is it good or is it bad?
Whatever it is just tell me so.

Your words to me are always kind
You're a gentleman inside and out
You spin me for a loop
What's this all about?

Is it the fact that you're unhappy?
Are you just looking for an easy escape?
I need you to let me know
I don't know how much I can take.

I know that you don't love her anymore
And I can tell you are so confused...
But friendship is all I want right now
I'll take whatever I can get from you.

You need to make a decision...
Fate lies within your own hands
You can't continue to be unhappy
Even if you think she won't understand.

I'm not telling you to do this for me...
You have to do it for her and you..
Especially if you want to be on your own
I won't interfere with what you have to do.

Just know that I will be here
No matter what the outcome may be
I'll take what ever I can get from you
But will you do the same for me?
