Want Is Need

~~~~~

Let me play the Fool for you
And be a convincing Fool at that.

May this smile on my lips
be enough
to tell you the story you want to hear,
and leave the truth unspoken.

Let my Want
play second only to your Need
to stay far, far away from your heart.

Oh, yes,
Let me play the Fool for you,
And let you be none the wiser.
