What I Need

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

I don't have to see you 24 hours a day
I don't need you here 365 days of the year to play
What I need is for you to acknowledge this small request
Love and respect will take care of the rest
Everthing will go as smooth as a breeze
Cause I have simple needs and I'm easy to please
I don't need you here every night to help me sleep
What I need is a man who can make promises he can keep

I don't wanna stop you from hanging out with the boys
I don't wanna stop you from playing with your toys
I don't wanna consume your every spared moment
I don't need you to buy my clothes or pay my rent
I don't need you to get my hair done 
Or take me on a shopping spree
I don't need to hang out with you just to eat for free
I just need you to invest more time with me
I need you to love me right, from my head to my feet
From the depths of your soul
I need you to love me that deep
I don't need your money, expensive jewelry or fancy cars
Or other material things to keep me happy
I need a man who won't cause me to weep
And a man who can make promises he can keep

Reason for writing:

    Sometimes men think that gifts and other material things make up for their short comings.  That's not the case.  Strong women have everything they need and we can do without all of the bullshit.  We would appreciate a man who is man enough to tell his friends "no" because he has a promise to fulfill.  Simple as that!
