You Don't Have To

I've been with every kind of guy,
from the buff and bulky,
to the quiet and shy.
From the one who dated other guys,
and the one who never let me cry.
From the one who giggled like a girl,
and the one who spoke in rhymes,
to the freak who collected pretty pearls,
and the loser who hated time.
But lately I've decided,
that its time to rearrange,
so i threw away the requirements,
and came up with just one thing.

You don't have to worry 'bout forever,
Whether we're both there, hand in hand.
You don't need to worry if we're together,
All you have to do, is love me,
and let me love you.

I came upon a nice guy,
who happened to look, just like you.
I found him on the boardwalk,
I smiled and he smiled too.
I decided we a connection,
strong enough for me.
I didn't really expect it,
for you to sweep me off me feet.

You don't have to worry 'bout forever,
Whether we're both there, hand in hand.
You don't need to worry if we're together,
All you have to do is love me,
and let me love you.

So please, my darling,
don't stop now,
don't think I don't love you,
I can't see how.

You don't have to hold me in your heart,
you don't have to waste the days,
you don't have to buy me a hundred flowers,
when we spend five minutes away,
you don't have to.
All I'm begging from you, darling.
Is please love me, darling,
and please, I'm praying, you'll let me love you too.
