Asking Too Much

[Verse 1]

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

[Bridge]

Make me say, what did you just say?

[Refrain]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Ah-d-do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?

Do you think i'm asking too much?
