When You’ve Only Got You
there were so many things
I wanted to believe
and there were so many things
I felt like I could trust
it’s funny when people are paid off
to tell you lies
and you can trust no one
because anyone can be paid off
that’s when you’ve only got you
and I know that can be rough sometimes
and I’ve managed after all these years
and I’ve made it just fine on my own
and then you had to come along
and maybe it was my problem to trust you
maybe I thought that
you wouldn’t lie to me
I wanted to get to know you
I’ve gotten to know you well
working together with you
I’ve learned about your love of pornography
and I thought that you did it
because you were so obsessed
with your work
and you had no time for
other people too
there were many things I wanted from life
you know, some women get married
and have kids
and depend on another man
for the money
and maybe I want that
and maybe I don’t
but I have to know
that someone out there
is worth it
