The pessimist "Yes" is hanging from the collar of your dress From when I followed it up with "I do" And I still do I confess and it's no surprise I guess Cause I've been repeating it the whole night through And now the dirty hands of the pessimist "Yes" Must tear off your dress And pledge its love to your skin And your mouth sigh just a simple "Yes" And you know about tenderness You do me good when you do me in Oh darling how I want you Oh darling how I need you To help me make it through night after night after night I don't know much about modern love But sometimes I've witnessed it from above Each time with a passion to climb down I'm scared of it all I guess that's why the pessimist "Yes" Cause signs of failure are scattered all around But I wanna live beneath your sacred belly I wanna push my name deep in your jelly I wanna conquer all that's been lost I wanna feel the kicking of your womb I wanna hear you weeping by my tomb I double the bargain I double the costs Oh darling how I want you Oh darling how I need you To help me make it through night after night after night You're every woman I've ever wanted I'm all the men who ever loved you But now you say you want someone new But the matters of the heart cannot be counted Let's just say I have a few As I dream each night about you There's a disappointment in seeing footprints in the sand Therefore I make mine as deep as I can Let the world know how I did you in And I give a warning to other men I'll be spilling this refrain About the memorised roadmap of your skin Oh darling how I want you Oh darling how I need you To help me make it through night after night after night Oh darling how I want you Oh darling how I need you To help me make it through night after night after night
