Msic and Lyrics: Say What You Want

We have all come across that elusive point where passionate feelings end and rational reasoning begins.  The question is, where do we draw the line? . . .

 Well, my dearest, I could never claim I know the truths of the matters of the heart.  We all get to the point where we make decisions and then we have to live with them.  However, in my experience (unless you're living a fairytale), love should recognize limits. . .  Love should never demand all or surrender all.  There is always an issue of balance and reciprocity.

Sometimes we have partners who cannot verbally express their loving feeling the way we'd like them to, but everyting they do demonstrates they love us. Other times, we have a partner who is verbally very convincing with the "I love you"s, but there is something in the back of your mind that keeps you awake at night that makes you question the truth of it all. I cannot give you the answer, but please keep in mind that love should be  a feeling that inspires you and makes you happier.


Texas - Say What You Want

"Say What You Want" (by Texas)

Twenty seconds on the back time
I feel you're on the run
Never lived too long to make right
I see you're doing fine

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no
Yeah, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

What I am is what you want of me
Yeh, now that I'm not there
I took the tables away from you
It's turned that I don't care

And when I get that feeling
I can no longer slide
I can no longer run
Ah no no
And when I get that feeling
I can no longer hide
For it's no longer fun
Ah no no

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

Yeah, you can say what you want
But that won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But that won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you

I've said goodnight
Try to sleep tight
Ah just dream of me
Go close your eyes
Cause I've closed mine
The sun will shine from time to time
Oh, when you dream of me, yeh

Well, you can say what you want
But it won't change my mind
I'll feel the same
About you
And you can tell me your reasons
But it won't change my feelings
I'll feel the same
About you
