All I want is a plain man All I want is a modest man A quiet man, a gentle man A straightforward and honest man
To sit with me in a cottage somewhere And I would like him to be more interested in me Than he's in himself and more interested in us than in me
And if occasionally he'd ponder What makes Shakespeare and Beethoven great Him I could love 'til I die! Him I could love 'til I die!
Being in love--what a lovely dream! And yet, somehow, Being in love's only half of what I'm longing for now And so then Tonight I'll be in there dreaming And hoping that someday there'll be Just once Somebody being in love with me!

You'll never see the courage I know Its color's richness won't appear within your view I'll never glow the way that you glow Your presence dominates the judgements made on you
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you
You'll say you understand, but you don't understand You'll say you'll never give up seeing eye to eye But never is a promise, and you can't afford to lie
You'll never touch these things that I hold The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own You'll never feel the heat of this soul My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown to you
You'll say, "Don't fear your dreams, it's easier than it seems" You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a promise and you can't afford to lie
You'll never live this life that I live I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night You'll never hear the message I give You say it looks as though I might give up this fight
But as the scenery grows, I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights I realize what I am now too smart to mention to you
You'll say you understand, you'll never understand I'll say, "I'll never wake up knowing how or why" I don't know what to believe in, you don't know who I am You'll say I'll need appeasing when I start to cry But never is a promise and I'll never need a lie-ie-ie-ie
