Asking You

Walk down that hall,

take me to that room,

shut the door

And close the lights too

Turn on the radio, take off that TV, sit me down

And speak real softly I'll pay my attentions to things you don't

say

I'll turn them this way and I'll turn them the other way

And I'm asking you is this how you want me

To be anything you want me to be

And I'm asking you is this how you see me

Some little girl kissing your cheek

As the sun begins to rise, it cuts through the glass

And it burns my flesh with every lash

I look at myself as others see myself

And I don't understand how this is myself

Walk down that hall, take to that room, shut the door

And close those lights too

And I'm asking you is this how you want me

To be anything you want me to be

And I'm asking you is this how you see me

Some little girl kissing your cheek

I'm walking down the stairs to leave

And out of the dark her eyes catch me ?

You're looking at me like you expect to see

Something there that I can't be

And I'm asking you to let me walk away this time

'Cause I can't be her anymore
