<div style="text-align: center;">Music and Lyrics by Jeffrey Paul Bobrick<br />
<br />
You want so much from me<br />
You want all<br />
Why won’t you let me be<br />
Don’t call<br />
You want to suffocate me<br />
With love<br />
You say we’re meant to be<br />
Hand in glove<br />
<br />
It’s not that I don’t care for you<br />
It’s not that I don’t adore you<br />
It’s not that I don’t want to give you<br />
All that I can (oh)<br />
It’s not that I don’t love you<br />
I’m always thinking of you<br />
But I still want to be a free man<br />
<br />
I love myself<br />
I love you too<br />
Can I love me<br />
And still love you?<br />
<br />
You come around<br />
And it’s a shame<br />
You wake me up<br />
And I’m to blame<br />
You will not give me any peace<br />
You won’t allow for my release<br />
<br />
I need to breathe some air<br />
But do you really care<br />
You take my sweat, my blood, my life in your rage (oh)<br />
There’s much I want to give you<br />
But I can’t always be with you<br />
I’m not a beast to fit your cage<br />
<br />
I love myself<br />
I love you too<br />
Can I love me<br />
And still love you?</div>
