Oh, mercy, mercy me

Subtitle: I gots it bad


But I'm gonna change your mind
Some way somehow baby
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too
I want you to want me baby
Just like I want you, ooh
Well one way love is just a fantasy, ah sugar
To share is precious, pure and fair, ooh
Don't play with something you should cherish for life, baby
Don't you wanna care?
Lonely out there
I want you the right way
I want you, but I want you to want me too


Robert Palmer was and is amazing. He could re-work any song into a mastery of seduction. I give his "Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You" as a dedication to PSM this humid night. As with the cycle of life itself, when one task is completed, a new one begins. When one manhunt concludes (or at least is sated as best as can be), a new one begins. And yours truly here gots it bad for PSM. BAD. I wish I didn't and I don't completely get it. I think there's a magnet in his stomach with my name on it . . .

Nevertheless, putting him aside for a moment, I send another dedication out to someone else. I had a bad experience with a guy I used to be friends with a while back. And one of the things he said to try to hurt me was that he didn't like me anymore, didn't like any of my friends, and had no interest in any of the things we did. That sucks. Not good stuff to hear, even during a break-up when all the nasty comments come forth. I have since concluded that one of the great feelings in life is when you learn that you have things in common with people who you really look up to and that the people who you think are cool think the same of you in return. I dedicate this to the coolest dude around who reinforced my belief in this and made me feel like one of the most special-est girls in the world.


People ask if I'm in love with you
Because I'm sitting here with your picture
And smiling to myself
I'm kinda lost in my own thoughts of you
My heart speaks before my mind thinks through
And I blush as I say yes
What a feeling of vulnerability coming over me
And I'm feeling weak and I can't speak
Never thought I'd give in so willingly to a human being
With abilities to set me free
Free, make me be me
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kissI must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality that's hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
People ask why I'm in love with you
Well, let me start by saying
You got my heart by just being who you are
And what we got is between me and you
It doesn't matter about the money I make
Or what I do, or that I'm a, huh, a star
Unconditionally you're there for me
Undeniably you inspire me, spiritually, so sweet
This is meaningful, is incredible, pleasurable, unforgettable
The way I feel, so sweet
Makes me want to say
Your lips, your love, your smile, your kiss
I must admit it's a part of me
You please me, complete me, believe me
Like a melody
Your soul, your flow, your youth, your truth is simply proof
We were meant to be
But the best quality that's hookin' me
Is that you're loving me for me
Is that you're loving me for me
Its so amazing how something so sweet
Has come and rearranged my life
I've been kissed by destiny
Oh, heaven came and saved me
An angel was placed at my feet
This isn't ordinary, he's loving me for me
Stripped of all make up, no need for fancy cover ups, push ups
With him, I don't have to put on a show
He loves every freckle, every curve, every inch of my skin
Fulfilling me entirely, taking all of me in
He's real, he's honest, he's loving me for me
