I Want More - Linda Eder

Day in and out what my life’s all about

Are the things that you find far to boring

Washing and cooking and staying good-looking

While you get to do the ignoring

Will it ever be my turn to say where we’re going?

Will it ever be my life that we’re planning for?

I’ve been living this way far so long without growing

I want more

I need attention not mere condescension

But you just don’t get the distinction

Pushing and shoving does not equal loving

Which seems on the brink of extinction

What became of the prince who was oh, so disarming?

What became of the sweet man at my beck-and-call?

Could it be that Prince Charming turned out not so charming

After all

After all

I want magic carpets, I want true romance

I want moonlight cruises to the South of France

And I want kisses that go on for days

I want more than this is in so many ways

I want more ful-filling

I want equal billing

I want champagne chilling at the door

So, in short, I’m saying if you want me

I want more

When did the me that I so long to be

Lose her natural sense of direction

When did the you that I’m turning into

Get a trifle too tense for affection

Can we ever get over this thing about winning?

Can we ever recapture a moment that’s past?

If we simply begin with a brand new beginning

Will it last?

Will it last?

I want Shakespeare sonnets, I want oohs and aahs

I want long stem roses in a Gucci vase

And I want kisses that go on for days

I want more than this is in so many ways

I want more relating

I want less debating

I want all those things I’m waiting for

So, in case you’re listening, if you want me

I want more

I want to fly throught that storybook sky

Where two people in love always travel

I want to be like some deep mystery

That you simply can’t wait to unravel

I want to soar ten feet off of the floor

When you walk through the door

Like I used to before…

I want magic carpets, I want true romance

I want moonlight cruises to the south of France

And I want kisses that go on for days

I want more than this is in so many ways

I want more fulfilling

I want equal billing

I want champagne chilling at the door

So, in short, I’m saying if you want me

Give me more relating

Give me less debating

Give me all those things I’m waiting for

So, in case you’re listening, if you want me

Really want me

If you want me…

I want more
