The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
I feel like I’ve known you so long
And I feel like I could tell you anything
But there is one thing I cannot say to you
That I want you, need you, love you
We talk and I laugh and smile
But deep down inside,
Bubbling to the surface
There are words at the back of my throat
Dying to get out
That though I know we both have our flaws
And imperfections, I know our hands would fit
Perfectly together and I have a feeling
You can dance really well
And that you’d be one of the few
That I can really be me around
“But every time I tried to tell you
The words just came out wrong”
And our pasts just don’t permit us
To be together anyway
Not that I had a chance to be
Worthy of all that you have to offer
Because you’re a Harvard man
And I’m a small town girl
And I know you don’t feel that way
But I don’t belong in your world
Of aristocrats and dinner parties
And politicians and expensive suits
I know where I belong
I belong with someone
Who is a bit more like me
But I can’t help who I love
It happens automatically
Not that you love me anyway
It was just a thought
That money doesn’t matter
But my love is not to be bought.
