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
