Have you ever wanted to ask what I dream of, when I gaze out of the window for hours on end, eyes wide in wonder?
DO you think you know me?
Do you think you understand it when I smile?
Will you be scared and helpless when I cry?
‘Cause,
I want a boy who’ll love me,
Who’ll look at me and smile,
A boy who’ll be happy just thinking of me.
I want him to laugh at night while dreaming of me,
To kiss me goodnight while talking to me.
I want him to be thoughtful once in a while,
And far off the mark by more than a mile.
I’ll find him wonderful,
He’ll know so many things that I won’t understand,
And even then, I’ll hide away in my head so carefully,
Scared to let him see me tenderly,
But he will stay, patiently,
Making no demand,
Knowing where to stand.
Sometimes he’ll get mad at me,
And we’ll argue and argue and he’ll walk out the door,
But the next day he’ll be back again,
And neither of us will need to apologise.
I want a love that’s easy,
No complexes no jealousy,
He’ll be able to know always,
When I’m happy, when I’m sad,
But he won’t say anything,
When I go crazy, I become mad
He’ll scowl and tell me to stop overreacting.
I want a boy who picks me flowers from the meadow,
Who’ll grab my hand in the middle of the night,
And taking me running to a land of our own,
He’ll make me think things I never could have imagined,
Make me say things I would have regretted,
But he’ll understand and wish me away.
Sometimes he’ll forget to call,
And sometimes he won’t turn up,
But that’s ok,
I wouldn’t expect any less,
And sometimes he’ll look far away at this unreachable place,
And I won’t understand,
I’ll feel left out,
But that’s ok.
I want him to grow up, suddenly,
To show me how mature his love has become,
To look at me from far away, and already understand.
Well darling, if you think you can be the man I’ll adore,
Just you try!
Do you sometimes wish you knew me, for real, for truth?
Because, you think you know me, a wit, a smile,
But you’re off the footing, by nearly a mile
‘Cause actually dear, you know nothing at all,
And for that you see, in love do you fall
Enraptured in daring,
You found yourself caring,
You think you know me,
Won’t you wait and see?
But what you see is a stance,
A fiery mood, a graceful unending dance,
What is this feeling, what could I be,
For you are so clearly in love with the idea of me.
