Norm Crouse - Authentic Love

You whisper that this love is like no one before
Say each tender touch leaves you wanting more
Tell me that my kisses sets your body all afire
I should just be happy as an object of desire
You scan across my body from the bottom to the top
Then caress each part like you never want to stop

But all that's just the surface; merely what you see
Not the most important or authentic part of me
There's a me that needs exploring; passionate and wild
A me that's shy and careful; innocent like a child
A part that strong and bold; a part of me that's fierce
A trusting part that's open; a part that's hard to pierce

If you want to love me, you've got to love the whole
Only way to love me is body mind and soul
Don't ask me to settle, or accept some lesser part
I'm much too complicated to let you trifle with my heart
Where I've been and am; where I'll someday be
If you dare to love, you must love all of me

Move beyond my passing looks and transitory style
Close you eyes and listen to the silence for awhile
Lay with me in darkness when you can't see my face
Understand the balance between closeness and my space

My love won't strike like lightning or make the world stand still
It's not that evanescent. It's not some passing thrill
Love shouldn't be a journey filled with trials and tribulations
It's not some wilting rose or pained imagination
I don't want you to fall, or take some mindless leap
I want kind of love that grows both wide and deep

If you want to love me, you've got to love the whole
Only way to love me it body mind and soul
Don't ask me to settle, or accept some lesser part
I'm much too complicated to let you trifle with my heart
Where I've been and am; where I'll someday be
If you dare to love, you must love all of me
All of me
