Poetry - Shara Nelson

Superficially I give you warmth

But in reality we’re really lost

Words fail me

Cause I tried all I know

Nobody to tell ya

So you’re fightin' bare on your own

Nobody to show ya

So you’re fightin' bare on your own

In the fall I wanted you

Ain’t that enough to keep ya?

In the fall I wanted you

Ain’t that enough, ain’t that enough?

It’s just poetry

The rest is just poetry

Lately you’ve been holdin' back much more

Thinkin' that I know the way to reach you

I ain’t into readin' minds, oh no

So darlin' just make up your mind

I ain’t into readin' minds

Nobody to tell ya

So you’re fightin' bare on your own

Nobody to show ya

So you’re fightin' bare on your own

In the fall I wanted you

Ain’t that enough to keep ya?

In the fall I wanted you

Ain’t that enough, ain’t that enough?

It’s just poetry

The rest is just poetry

(In the fall I wanted you)

Oh, it’s just poetry, why the hell are you leavin' me?

Why the hell are you leavin' me

Forget the poetry

Forget the poetry
