Story Behind the Song
I've seen too many guys who have great wives take them for granted. He ignores her for whatever reasons and then when she leaves, he doesn't understand why. A marriage is tough enough when both partners are awake, let alone if one of them is asleep. True, this can happen the other way around, where the woman is the blissfully ignorant one, but that's not usually the case. Anyway, this is a kind of "heads up" for all us that are married.
Lyrics
Spoken: She was at the end of her rope, so she pleaded with him...
I want you to touch me like you can't stand not to
I want you to kiss me like it was the breath of life
I want you to lose yourself in my consuming passion
I want you all over me all through this night
These are things I know you can do
I'm not asking the impossible
I just want you to love me
Like you used to do
Spoken: she begged him...
I want you to listen when I pour my heart out
I want you to talk to me like you really care
I want you to fight back when we've got to work through it
I want you to lead the way through our dreams and take me there
These are things I know you can do
I'm not asking the impossible
I just want you to love me
Like you used to do, like you used to do
Like you promised to, like you used to do
Oh, I can't do this on my own,
I didn't get married to be this alone,
It takes two to make love grow
Like it used to do.
He never answered so she finally stopped askin'
She never wanted it to happen it just did
She found a lover that she wasn't really after
Now the only time he sees her is when she drops off the kids
When he asked her why she looked at him in disgust
And said, you really don't know, so you?
It's because he loves me baby
Like you used to do, Like you used to do
Like you promised to, Like you used to do
Oh, mornin' comes and he awakes
It was all a dream and it's not too late
She's still there next to him so he wakes her
Like he used to do, like he used to do
When love was new, like he used to do
Like he used to do
When love was new
Like he used to do
