who’d cry for me if I should die
who’d shed a tear or wet their eye
my mother, my child, a sister, friend
who’d be sorry as I’d met my end
I want to be missed
Revered and mourned
I want to be pined over
Cause someone to yearn
I want someone to yell out
“Why God, why now
Anything to get her back
Simply show me how”
I want that perfect scripted love
You see on movie screens
I want to be enamored
To see how that love feels
I want that love that’s filling
That love that heals and soothes
I want that love that lulls to sleep
And brightens darkened moods
I’ve looked for him who’ll cry for me
He’s nowhere that I’ve been
I’ve given myself mistakenly
To men who perfect seemed
They use my body, soul and mind
My heart sits longingly
Awaiting him who’d love and care
And know he’d cry for me
