Because I Love You

I adore the way you pretend you don’t get excited when you do something good  
Go ahead, be the bad guy  
Keep up the persona  
Underneath that aloof exterior is a marshmallow  
A fluffy man  
I got you  
I won’t tell anyone  
Because I love you  
   
I dig the way I drive you crazy with my antics and you pretend that you’re unaffected  
Go ahead, be dominant    
Keep up the act  
Underneath your need to control is a man bruised by life  
Lucky for you I enjoy the way you “let out your aggression”  
I got you, baby  
I’m not telling anyone    
It’s our secret  
Because I love you  
   
I enjoy the way you pretend you’re not watching me when you think I don’t notice  
Go ahead, be THE man  
The alpha male  
Unaffected  
In control of you  
You’re not letting this imp in your heart  
I get it (wink)  
I’m not wiggling my ass on purpose  
Or spilling out of my top, nightie, whatever  
Not me  
Keep up the game    
It’s cool  
When I’m accidentally clumsy and trip over your leg and fall in your lap  
I’ll let you believe it’s all you  
I know why  
I got you  
It’s okay  
I won’t say a word to you    
Because I love you  
   
When your nightmares take over and you cry out  
I’ll hold you  
I’ll soothe your furrowed brow    
I’ll whisper my love to you  
Because I know  
I will tell you then  
All the reasons you are perfect the way you are  
And how I wouldn’t choose anyone but you  
And you will see  
Who you are and who you’re meant to be  
Through my eyes  
Because I love you
