All I Need - Jerry Paper

I stand and sigh just for a second, one second

Is all I need

Take in the silence for a second, one second

Is all I need

I’m ready

I’ll go face Sharon in the crowd

She’s got on her most garish blouse

A most bibulous and foolish night it was

And I’m painfully aware of my flaws

I’ll do my whole spiel for a minute, one minute

Is all I need

She’ll pause and frown at me for a minute, one minute

Is all I need

To know

That I’m choosing the wrong words

To make my case for my foolishness

But to guess is the only way to go through life

And there’s no way to get it right every time
