Analysis of I Want To Lift Your Spirit
Show me how to please you. Tell me what you need.
Take me to your secrets. Guide me to your creed.
Your mind I can not read.
Let me share your breathing. Let me taste your lips.
Let me hear your heartbeat. Let me read your scripts.
Your touch deserves no quips.
Grant me your approval. Give me your respect.
Prize me like no other. Favor me in effect.
Your soul has no defect.
Let me see your colors. Let me know your dreams.
Let me cull your luster. Let me heed your themes.
Your life is void of schemes.
Name me for my loyalty. Sense me on your side.
Note me for fidelity. Get me where I reside.
Your manner is not snide.
I want to lift your spirit. I need to watch you smile.
I wish to make you happy. I hope to match your style.
Your custom has no guile.
