said you've got to be what you want
if you want to be with me.
I said be ing with you
is exactly what I want to be.
He said wanting to be with me
is losing your identity.
Oh Ben, oh Ben,
so I decided to try again.
He said,
you need my respect
and independence might accom
plish that.
I said, I'll pack and leave today,
I'm really glad we had this chat.
He said, you're trying to injure me,
now honey, that's not where it's at.
Oh, Ben, oh, Ben,
I bet you can't guess
what happened then.
We made love, we made love,
we made love, oh, Ben.
And we spoke, and we talked,
an d we talked, and talked,
and fuck things up again, again.
He said, I want you to be with me
and let me have my time alone.
I said, you really are the
most confusing person
that I've ever known.
He said, the fact
that you're confused
is why you can't live on your own.
He said, you've got to be
what I want you to be,
and then you'll grow into
the girl you really are
underneath the one we know.
I said, this has been fascinating.
Thanks a lot. I think I'll go.
Oh, Ben, oh, Ben,
can you believe what happened then?
We made love.
We made love.
We made love again.
An d he said,
don't ever go.
And I left.
Amen.
