Just An Idea

​This is a poem I wrote in 2010. I imagine all of my poetry to music though I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This poem I imagine set to the tune of Dancing In The Dark by Bruce Springsteen.

​Always busy with your studies
Always busy with your plans
To make lots of money
You never had time for a man
You're always so driven
You're life's so full of haste
To learn the world of finance
How long can you keep up the pace?
I thought I'd give you...
I thought I'd give you that chance
For fun and recreation
And maybe just maybe romance
Now you're still alone
Baby, I'm lonely too
Here's just an idea
Maybe I could spend time with you

You can make me think
That's such a rare find
To find a woman
Who has more than half a mind
You've got a nice figure
I like your smile, I like your face
I like the way you stand up
And you put me in my place
We could take over...
Take over the whole God-Damn World
I'd do the politics
And you'd be my economics girl
Now you're going nowhere
Soon you'll have to go home and leave the states
I'm not asking for commitment
I'm just asking for one date

We could just try it...
Try it out and see what unfolds
What better option
But to leave each other in the cold?
I know its hard
When you've got so much on your plate
I'm not asking for commitment
I'm just asking for one date

I'm just asking for one date

I'm just asking for one date

just asking for one date

asking for one date

Mmm-mm mm mm mmm
