Magic Words
To everything you say
And you're the only person
Who cares what I say
There are misunderstandings
You have partial hearing loss
You mispronounce words
So do I
I'm sensitive to everything
You have to say
I pay attention
Look you in the eye
Mute the television
Calmly I stay quiet
I listen to your thoughts
Whatever you have to say
In sex our safety word is SAFETY
Or any variation
What's the magic word to stop teasing
And start a serious conversation?
SERIOUS
That's the magic word
Let's get serious
Stop the banter
Stop the jokes
Seriously
You're hurting on the inside
Authentically
Let's have a serious conversation
Speak the magic word
And I will stop the banter
And the jokes
I once broke up with a boyfriend
Because he couldn't stop
I'm hurting on the inside
I need to talk
Please stop the banter
Stop the jokes
But he couldn't
So I had to say goodbye
Now you and I
Have a magic safety word
For emotions
Say the word serious or any variation
If you want a serious conversation
Don't break up with me
I offer these new magic words
Serious and seriously
Add them to love's glossary
Safety
Sincerity
Honesty
Austerity
Monogamy
Matrimony
Seriously
For a serious conversation
Say the magic word
Or any variation
Stop the banter
Stop the jokes
Look you in the eye
Pay attention
Calmly remain quiet
Speak the magic words and
Magically we stay in love
I'm hyper sensitive
To whatever you have to say
And you're the only person
Who cares what I say.
