Trying hard to do what's right
I feel so alone tonight
Full of longing, deep desires
Wanting to warm myself by your fire;
I know it's wrong, I know in my soul,
But it's been so long since I've felt whole,
And you've awakened in me all these feelings,
You've set my even-keel just reeling.
It's been so long since I've felt anything other
Than that I am somebody's mother,
So long since I have allowed my senses
To climb out over my defenses
And let me feel what it is to feel,
To be a woman, true and real...
Just one more kiss, one more touch...
I hate to have to lock her back up.
