In the shallowest part of the night 
 While you quietly slept 
 I lay here and I counted the hours 
 To the sound of your breath 
    Can't you love me? 
 Can't you love me how I want, please? 
 How I want...   
 I went walking down on Second Street 
 Through the leaves and the clutter 
 In the pale yellow sodium light 
 Nothing has any color   
 Can't you love me? 
 Can't you love me how I want, please? 
 How I want...   
 Can't you love me? 
 Can't you love me how I want, please? 
 How I want...
