Man and Woman at the Mouth of a Cave, Herman van Swanevelt, via the National Gallery of Art, open access
“All I Really Want to Do”
I don’t want to be your maid,
be your slave,
or be your page.
All I really want to do
is, baby, be in love with you.
I don’t want to take advantage of you,
steal freedom from you,
or in any way own you.
All I really want to do
is, baby, be in love with you.
I don’t want to stress you out,
rack you with doubt,
or run you about.
All I really want to do
is, baby, be in love with you.
I don’t want to disengage you,
rearrange you,
or discourage you.
All I really want to do
is, baby, be in love with you.
I don’t want to misinform you,
try to transform you,
or try to reform you.
All I really want to do
is, baby, be in love with you.
