I Don't Ask For Much

You say that you care
But when I cry
You just sit and stare
And I need to know why
You tell me that you
Want to keep me around
But when I love on you
You push me to the ground
You say that I'm pretty
But you never show it
And it would be a pity
If you lost me and I just quit
You say I make you
Feel good inside
Why can't I feel that too
Instead of wanting to hide
And I think about
All of these things and
Realize that I've pulled this all out
Don't you understand
That I shouldn't have to
Ask you about these things
It's things you should want to
Show me and not hurt my feelings
I don't ask for much
Just for your love
And caring touch
That would be enough
I don't need flowers
Or go on fancy dates
I don't need showers
Of gifts of expensive taste
I just need your smile
And the caress of your hand
To make my time worth while
Don't you understand
I don't need a nice car
Or a dozen rings
I don't need the stars
Or other material things
I just need your lips
Pressed upon mine
Your hands on my hips
For all of time
I dont' need money
Or things you can buy
But I like it when you call me honey
And gaze into my eyes
I need your hand on my back
And to hear you miss me
I would entirely lose track
Of time and feel loved completely
I need to hear you sigh
When I say your name
And when I say goodbye
Since you, I haven't been the same
I know what I do
Makes you feel good
But I need it from you
So I'm no longer in a bad mood
Just the smallest things
Can make my day
To you, my heart sings
Please don't throw that away
I know we don't get
A lot of time
So please don't forget
About this little rhyme
Our time together should
Be well spent
And I know it could
If you just went
A little bit out of
Your way each day
To make me feel loved
Then it all would be okay
I need to hear
How much you like me
And want me near
That you think I'm pretty
I don't ask for much
Just for your love
And caring touch
That would be enough
