Love Me

Love me like I am a movie star Love me like I am a fool Tragic and hopeless Softly out of focus And you be a movie star, too Love me like I am a Saturday Lazy and warm by the old wishing pool Dusty old sunbeams And a handful of pennies You whisper your wishes all to Love me like I am a spirit Here in the dark I appear in your room You'll say you love me But I'll never hear it That ain't what they wrote on my tomb So, love me like I am the circus When all of the lights have gone down Spooky and faded With clowns drunk and jaded Who cuss when there's no one around You'll love me like I am a Christmas tree Sparkling and pretty, a real fantasy Then you'll see through me Won't know what to do with me Then you'll be glad when I Won't be too sad when I So glad the day I leave
