Yes, I Know You Love Me



Yes, I know you love me, your actions make it clear,
yet when the goblet's full
I drink the words I hear.
Yes, I know you love me, your pledges make it cook,
yet when the hunger looms
I eat the fish I hook.
Yes, I know you love me, your stances make it true,
yet when the chips are down
I seek the one I woo.
Yes, I know you love me, your dances make it real,
yet when the music stops
I do the moves I feel.
Yes, I know you love me, your tactics make it show,
yet when the methods fail
I steer the boat I row.
Yes, I know you love me, your cuddles make it burn,
yet when all's said and done
I chase the words I turn.
