What She Needs

Julia O’Donovan

Well they were married in June
But the baby never came
She said “You promised, you promised me
You promised me you would

You said we couldn’t have a baby
Until I made you my husband
Look at the pretty ring
Now where’s our kid?”

He doesn’t go out drinking with his buddies
He comes home after work
Sits around in his grease stained shirt
Waiting for his dinner

If she asked him, he would give her the moon
If she asked him, the stars would be hers
He would give her damn near anything
Just to see her smile

He just wants a little more affection
Not that she ignores me
He just doesn’t get all of her
Because she doesn’t know what’s her’s to give

He criticizes the guy next door
The jealous guy with no satisfaction
The baby wakes up screaming
He gets in the car and goes

Jealousy, well he’s got it too
I no longer come around
To see my old friend
Because he always puts on a show

In silence he lets me know
‘She’s got me she needs no confidante
I give her all the understanding she needs
She doesn’t need anyone but me’
