Asking Too Much Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Asking Too Much Lyrics

    I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
    and still keeps their purpose in mind
    I want somebody who has a tortured soul
    some of the time
    I want somebody who will either put out for me
    or put me out of misery
    or maybe just put it all to words
    and make me say, you know
    I never heard it put that way
    make me say, what did you just say?
    I want somebody who can hold my interest
    hold it and never let it fall
    someone who can flatten me with a kiss
    that hits like a fist
    or a sentence, that stops me like a brick wall
    because if you hear me talking
    listen to what I'm not saying
    if you hear me playing guitar
    listen to what I'm not playing
    and don't ask me to put words
    to all the spaces between notes
    in fact if you have to ask, forget it
    do and you'll regret it
    I'm tired of being the interesting one
    I'm tired of heving fun for two
    just lay yourself on the line
    and I might lay myself down by you
    but don't sit behind your eyes
    and wait for me to surprise you
    I want somebody who can make me
    scream until it's funny
    give me a run for my money
    I want someone who can
    twist me up in knots
    tell me, for the woman who has everything
    what have you got?
    I want someone who's not afraid of me
    or anyone else
    in other words I want someone
    who's not afraid of themself

    do you think I'm asking too much?
