Want That Too You Know

November 16, 1998

I think I have heightened awareness
I have this tendency to notice the details
I don’t know what it is

but what I’ve noticed
is something other people wouldn’t notice

I’ve noticed when you say something

in passing
and maybe you didn’t
mean anything by it

well, I noticed the double meaning
and maybe you weren’t trying to
give me any double meaning

maybe I’m just being too aware

maybe I want something to
work out for me

we women want that too, you know
