The New One

Wanting to take me anywhere I wanna go, in his car

However near, however far

He brings me flowers, He wants to take me for a ride

He doesn’t want me to leave his side


My new one, who calls me in the middle of the night

Wanting to hear my sweet voice once more,

The way HE did, in the dark, without any light

 

My new one, so tall and handsome as a movie star, so sweet and loving

Wanting to spoil me, to make me His own

Take me to those fancy restaurants, linen tablecloths,

Sweet wine that will make me tell the truth

Which one of us are only out on a “loan”

 

My new one, who kisses my eyes and will never see me cry

He wants me to smile, always asking why

I keep that little black book

Wanting to take a look

 

He takes me to the desert, he takes me through the scenic routes

All I want is to be near the ocean with someone else

 

The One who took me to the diner with the paper napkins

The One who took me to the ocean,

The One who took me on the bus and the train

 The One who made love to under the full moon one cold bitter night

The One who made love to me in the rain

The One who I never had to drink sweet wine to tell the truth

Who kissed my eyes and face when it was wet with tears

I knew this ONE for many years

 

Let me go back to my room and out of your sight
Say Good-bye and not Good-night.
