Because That's What I'M Wanting Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love.
Baby, baby, baby
No you can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love.
Skip over ifs and all the maybees.
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.

Did you hear me say it...?

You can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love?
Did you hear me say it clearly?
You can't have me.
If you can't...
Have love.
You can vote me very crazy!
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.

I know those feelings sinking in,
Getting deep.
I'm having trouble getting any sleep
And...
When we are together, It's the best we like to keep it 'cause...
Lovers we are and best of buddies.
Yes,
Lovers we are...
And better friends.
Since the lovers I see,
I 'hope' we could be...
Are the ones who keep love alive,
To survive.

So...you can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love.
Baby, baby, baby
No you can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love.
Skip the ifs and diss the maybees
Because that's what I'm wanting,
And that is what I'm looking for.
Smother that chicken with some gravy.
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.
Don't let it drip before I lick it.
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.

You can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love.
Baby, baby, baby
No you can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love,
For baked chicken topped with gravy.
No you can't have me,
If you can't...
Have love,
For that baked chicken with gravy.
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.

Just lay it in a plate and let me get a taste.
Because that's what I'm wanting.
And that is what I'm looking for.
