Please allow me, friends, to introduce myself
I'm your girl next door from Indiana
With my dreams still on a shelf
Haven't seen too much of anything
And so far I'm living on a shoe-string
I write of life that's tender and ideal
Songs and poems with happy endings
But in my heart there's nothing real
Because those words won't hold me in the night
Won't kiss me in the morning light
There's a fire in me burning
Every day I wake I find I'm yearning
For something more
Someone who will know my heart
Like none before
And see inside this lonely poet
Where love wants to hold me close
And never lose me
For a love that has the world to choose
But wants to choose me
I just hope that I am destined for
Something more
If I had that love then I'd be brave enough
To build this dream I have inside
And shine this diamond in the rough
There is so much more inside of me
And I just want the world to see
If I had the chance then I could take the floor
And get what I had always craved
The love of one, then millions more
Can anyone have too much love
Surrounded from below, above?
If the Lord could only weigh-in
Turn an ear to one girl's humble prayin'
For something more
I'd give pieces of my heart away
To shake the core
Of anybody else who's lonely
And I wouldn't have to worry about the bottom-dollar
And I'd get to live my life with love in Technicolor
I just hope that I am destined for
Something more
And I just hope that I am destined for
Something more!
