Do I need you or do I want you

Two questions the same but they drive me insane

Do I need you or do I want you

These words aren't quite the same,

But it's all part of the game.

I need, I want, I have, have not

I love, I like, or I'll see you again

Do I need you, I don't think so

A child needs a drink & food to grow.

Do I want you, that's a question you see

It's a choice I make when I'm happy and free.

Do I need you, well here's what we do

My needs can be met, but it's not up to you.

Do I want you, is what I will decide

If I want your love then I'll show you tonight

A need is a thing we can't live without,

A want is a feeling you can care about.

A need is a thing that keeps us alive

Like the food we eat or the car we drive.

We need little things to keep us going

Not through choice but a need that's always growing.

No, I don't need you like you want me to

I can't make you see that it's not for me & you.

A want is a feeling you must fulfil

Like wanting to play in the sand on a hill

We want to love & we want to care

We want to live & be happy here.

Do I want you? It's a matter of fact.

I want your love, and that is that.

"Rest In Peace", what the message read

On a stone put up above their heads.

They never knew their time was near

As they laughed and drove and drank their beer.

It was so quick, they never knew

That in a flash their lives were through.

So happy they were, to a party they'd go

Who could have guessed, who could know?

They've been this route many times before

What the heck, what's one more.

But sooner or later time comes to an end

It came true too, for these loving friends.

Tears are shed; friends and family grieve.

But what does it take to make them believe?

It can happen here too, as we have seen.

Drinking and death are often the scene.

Everyone thinks "It won't happen to me.

I'm a good driver and taxis aren't free."

Like the stone says, "Rest In Peace." today.

It was the devil booze who took them away.

For all abusive men......

Where's Alice, you ask, with a sideways grin,

Nobody knows where Alice has been.

She's gone, you know, to a place far away

And if things change, she'll come back some day.

Where's Alice, you ask, in a worried voice,

She had to leave, she had no choice.

She's gone to a place that's good for her

And she'll not be back till things get better.

Where's Alice, you ask, in a mournful tone

She's left you and now you are on your own.

She's gone away to find a better life

Far better than being your sorrowful wife.

Where's Alice, you ask, with a tear in your eye

She left and she didn't even say goodbye.

She's gone, you know and she won't be back

Looking for love, a thing which you lack.

Where's Alice, you ask, What do I do?

I don't care, you dolt, it's because of you

She's gone far from here and she'll be all right

No more will she fear what goes bump in the night.

Where's Alice, you ask, again and again

She's gone and left the anger and pain.

She's gone far from here and I think she's smart

Finally her life can stop falling apart.

Where's Alice, you ask, just one last time

She's left you, fool, you don't have to whine

She's gone and she isn't going to be back

She's left you Jerk, you're the big Jack-___!
