lyrics

FANTASY
(© September 10th, 2001)

“Oh won’t you come to bed?
It’s been so long and I want you,”
that’s what he says

“Just put this thing on,
And do a little dance, now you’re perfect”
Now I’m his fantasy

But can’t you see? This is not me
I can never be
your fantasy

There are some of his drawers I never open
don’t ask don’t tell
Hidden there, are his fantasies

I do the best I can
to satisfy his desires
when they come

But can’t you see? Those girls are not me
I can never be
your fantasy

What do I agree to? What do I refuse?
What about my own instincts,
of what is right for me

Oh how I long to be
Good enough for you,
desirable, as just plain me

I guess I shouldn’t complain
I don’t want to cause no trouble
being a crazy hippie feminist
Oh no

Yet I can’t help but feel, it’s just not me
I can never be
your fantasy
No I will never be
your fantasy

I am too human to be
a fantasy
