Wanting You!
Evans E Bradley 1949 (Washington, DC)
Wanting you is my hope and dream,
Needing you is my wish supreme,
I am not your husband, you are not my wife,
But you have brought joy into my life,
If the day we get together comes to be,
I hope when we are finished we both feel free,
I don't always get what I want nor what I need,
But if I get my arms around you I will have succeeded,
This is not that I say I want to sin,
It's just that my lonely heart been hurting,
So as we go through life try to do your best,
Not to hurt others but to hell to the rest.
