I Am Not
I am not smooth
And I am not soft
And I am not angry or mean
I'm just a little shut off
Shut off like the answer no
Or like the way water never holds
And I want to be
Better than I am
Oh yes, and I want to need
Nothing but your hands
'Cause mine are so weak
But my body, it wants to move in
It wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have seen you kick when you swim
You kick when you swim
This time I know
Well, this time I know
That I am not wrong, yeah
But you're now so dry and cracked
My heart is set back
Yeah, just like the moon
When it's a silver resting on its back
And I will not say
Just exactly how I feel
Because all of the answers
Have yet to be revealed
Oh, when my body, it wants to move in
It wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have seen you kick when you swim
You kick it when you swim
This time I know
Well, this time I know that I am not wrong
But you know patience is stronger
Than any kiss
And ooh, how I wonder
If we're ever gonna make it
Are we ever gonna make it?
And I am not soft
And I am not angry or mean
I'm just a little shut off
Shut off like the answer no
Or like the way water never holds
And I want to be
Better than I am
Oh yes, and I want to need
Nothing but your hands
'Cause mine are so weak
But my body, it wants to move in
It wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have seen you kick when you swim
You kick when you swim
This time I know
Well, this time I know
That I am not wrong, yeah
But you're now so dry and cracked
My heart is set back
Yeah, just like the moon
When it's a silver resting on its back
And I will not say
Just exactly how I feel
Because all of the answers
Have yet to be revealed
Oh, when my body, it wants to move in
It wants to move in
And your ankles are so strong
I have seen you kick when you swim
You kick it when you swim
This time I know
Well, this time I know that I am not wrong
But you know patience is stronger
Than any kiss
And ooh, how I wonder
If we're ever gonna make it
Are we ever gonna make it?
