If You Ask

Well, I've come to know

The look on your face

When you're lying

About where you've been

Or how much you spent

I know

When you will raise your fingers

To your mouth

As if to wipe away the shame

It's not a game, I know you feel bad

If you ask for my forgiveness

If you call my name I will come

If you ask for my love

I will give you some

Some day I know

You will understand

Some day you'll finally realize

What you're doing to yourself

We've been dancing

To that same old song

Over and over again

I want to be your lover

I don't want to be your policeman

So tonight

When you finally make

Your way back to our door

I'll let you sleep it off

Like I did the night before

And in the morning

I will get you up

And I will smile

Just when you want me to

'Cause I'm all you have

When you ask for my forgiveness

When you call my name I will come

When you ask for my love

I will give you some
