Before You Want Me

Know this:
I am not the kind of woman you need just for amusement.
I am not the kind of woman you need just for one night.
Nor am I the kind of woman you need only when distance
runs between you and your lover.

Know this too:
I am not the kind of woman you need merely to dazzle your friends.
Nor am I the kind of woman you want for nothing else
but to kindle jealousy in your ex-lover's heart.
I am certainly not the kind of woman you'd keep beside you
thinking, let her be there...let's see what happens!

I don't want to be your rehearsal session,
I want to be your final show.

I want to be that person in your life
you wait for, you pray for.
And
if I give you even one chance, you'll count it your good fortune,
because you'll know very well
you'll never find anyone like me again.
Yes, I want to be exactly that person for you;
otherwise, I want to be nothing at all.
