Maybe I Should Scream

Maybe I Should Scream

Some men just don't get me
friendship is a stepping stone to
bigger, better relationships if two agree
today I'm just interested in getting acquainted
you don't have to tell me no lies, fabricated melodies
or even imaginary fish stories
today you don't even need an alibi
we're just conversing, conversating
whichever word helps you get my meaning
we don't have to hold hands, or pray together
nothing red flagish, squeamish or I gotta go lingo

Some men just don't get me
I like your presence, something about you
is inviting, extremely engaging
I want to sit and listen to what you have to say
the accent of your voice telling me where you're from
where you're going, can I come
I like your energy, you bounce a wrestler kind of move
your words sound like justice ringing in my ear
your smile is genuine I can see it in your eyes
can't we lingering here just a little while longer
until our bond strengthens and we become
friends for life.

Some men just don't get me
it's true I'm waiting for him
but he knows who he is and when he
shows up I'll know him too
but today it's just me getting to know you
friendship is a stepping stone
and we all gotta walk that path
that leads to commitment when we agree
but today it's just me getting to know you
no alibis needed, no red flagish kind of scene
only melodies of voices, synchronized choices

Some men just don't get me.
