Generous Woman

ART: "The Road" By Laurie Cooper

/You say that you've got your secrets...
and frankly I'm scared...
You say that you're delicately held together
and that I should beware..
and that if I want us to have it goin on...
goin on...
then I'll have to be generous.../

/You say that my timing is off..
and well, certainly,I'm concerned..
you don't know how "real" you can be..
and yet you sound like you're talkin the same
old jive to me..
oh damn,I should've learned..
but we could have had something real goin on
goin on
but then I'd of had to have been generous...
generous to you, baby...../

/Are you a generous woman?
can you give
when I've got nothing left?
do you understand..
that if I have to be such a generous man..
then I need..
a generous woman to walk beside me and hold my hand../

/You tell me you need time to think..
and baby ,I'm worried..
I think that maybe I need a drink..
You laugh and tell me don't hurry.
You want me to tell you what's on your mind..
but honey ,who is zoomin who?
peace and love is here to find..
it's all up to you..
because baby girl we could have something real goin on
somethin real strong
but you say I'll have to be generous to you.../

/but then again-
Are you a generous woman?
can you give
when I've got nothing left?
Do you understand
that if I have to be such a generous man
then I at least need..
an equally generous woman to be by my side
and to hold my hand../
