Song For Jeffrey

Jeffrey won't you let me know
Just what you are feeling
The night we met so long ago
Almost sent me reeling
I just need to have you near
How I wish that you could hear
Jeffrey won't you say that you'll be mine
Jeffrey I can't figure out
These things that you are saying
I don't know a thing about
These games that you are playing
One day love is in the air
Then the next day, you're not there
Jeffrey won't you say that you'll be mine
Jeffrey when I told you
The way I really felt
I was afraid I'd lose you
And that my heart would melt
But now I'm just uncertain
More than I was before
Should I keep on flirtin'
Or walk out and close the door
Jeffrey I knew right away
When you got on that airplane
These thoughts of you most every day
Would nearly drive me insane
I think I've gotten over you
But when I see you, that's not true
Jeffrey won't you say that you'll be mine

House Cat

I wanna talk to you
But all these words just get in the way
I wanna walk with you
But all these words just get in the way
'Cause I'm a house cat baby
And that's the way I'll probably stay
I wanna tell you you're so darn cute
But the words won't come
I wanna tell you I love that suit
But the words won't come
'Cause I'm a house cat baby
And I'll be till my day is done
I wanna make some music and be a star
I wanna drive to heaven in my car
I wanna crank some Motown
And take you for a ride
But I'm a house cat baby
And I don't like goin' outside
You got a head for numbers and I just swoon
I got an internship that's starting soon
I gotta get up on my feet
And stop withering
But us house cats, baby
That's just not our thing

Friend Crush

Friend crush, friend crush
Don't go out with friends much
There's no logic but I can't deny it
Guess that means I should keep it quiet
My thoughts can sometimes be a pain to unpack
They lead me one way, then they lead me right back
My friends, they always acted superior
As time went on the days got much wearier
We were at the fringes of the same social groups
But conversations are like jumping through hoops
But then she told me all about the same things
It's sure not romance, but just the same my heart sings
Friend crush, friend crush
That should make my friends blush
There's all these groovy folks at school
This friend crush is makin' me lose my cool
She's a woman, I'm a guy, so it would not work out
But still she always gets what I am going on about
She's got this groovy fashion that I can't help but admire
But if I said let's jump in bed, you know I'd be a liar
One day she up and left, a summer goodbye
I felt so empty and I couldn't tell why
I've still got antique shops, I'll send her some pics
But all these straight folks just don't give me my fix
Friend crush, friend crush
Shouldn't go for friends much
I need her aesthetic in my life
But I sure ain't lookin' for no wife

Don't Tell Me So

Don't tell me if I am the one
I've thought all this over, it's all said and done
No thing that could happen could hope to surpass
My mind's vivid portrait engraved out of glass
Let me imagine the world as our stage
The Christian conservatives we would enrage
But within reality I've no place to go
So if you love me, please don't tell me so
Don't tell me, I'm happy to guess
My friends say to ask you, but I'll settle for less
I dream we're together, but it's gone too far
So if you can hear me, wherever you are
Don't jolt me out from my idyllic place
By smiling that smile that just makes my heart race
I've made up my mind that the best way is no
So if you love me, please don't tell me so
