I know you can't always be here with me

You can't find what all you need is just one man

You're hardly ever free and seldom lonely

What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can.

And don't feel like I expect you to be through me

Any time you'll have leave I'll understand

I don't have what all it takes to make you happy

What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can.

Let me be the one you sometimes come to

You just barely have the time for one more friend

I'll be satisfied with any crumb you'll throw me

What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can.

Don't feel like I expect you to be through me

Any time you'll have leave I'll understand

I'll be satisfied with any crumb you'll throw me

What I'm tryin' to say is love me when you can...
