Tell me again how you love me.

Does that mean you're in love with me?

Why should I ever believe you?

I am a misfit, never free.



I'm a square peg in a round hole.

I'm a weed among the flowers

Or a star in the morning sky,

Measured by seconds not hours.



But I hear you say you love me.

Is that as you 'love' a pet?

As you 'love' a pasta dinner?

Or am I not even close yet?



Is it as you 'love' a movie?

Or a favourite pair of shoes?

Or as you 'love' sweet jelly beans

Or the sound of a bass in blues?



Or do you really have a love

For me that is strong, pure and deep?

That is the only love I want;

Any other love you can keep.



For when I love, there's no reserve-

I give all that I am able.

My love is real and it is true-

This love of mine is no fable.



Tell me again how you love me.

Does that mean you're in love with me?

Tell me you mean romantic love

So I open at last to life... Free!
