Squeezin' the Love Outta You
Love's Desert Dune: Carolyn's Anthem of Liberation
Lyrics
I'm not gonna beg you for a little kiss
I won't plead for a small gesture of affection.
Love ain't gonna last very long like this
The love we have won't endure if things continue like this.
You expect me to make the first move
You anticipate me initiating romantic actions.
And even then you never get in the groove
Even when I try, the connection doesn't improve.
You don't worry about it, but honey I do
You're unconcerned, but it bothers me.
You think a little goes a long way
You believe a small effort is sufficient.
I've had a little more than I can take
I've endured more than I can handle.
Well I'm through squeezing the love out of you
I've decided not to extract love from you anymore.
It's like trying to get water from a desert dune
It's as difficult as getting water from a desert dune.
Baby if this is the best you can do
If this is your best effort, I'm done.
I'm through, squeezing the love out of you
I'm officially stopping the effort to extract love from you.
Oh yeah
(Expression of resolve or agreement)
You must think that I got all the time in the world
You assume I have endless time, but you're mistaken.
I can tell you right now, boy, you've got the wrong girl
You've chosen the wrong person.
I've waited long enough for you to act like you are in love
I've waited long enough for you to show love.
Guess it's finally come down to giving up
It's come to the point where I have to give up.
I spent too much time holding on tight
I invested too much time and effort in holding on.
With both of my hands and all of my might
I held on with all my strength.
Well I'm through squeezing the love out of you
I've decided not to extract love from you anymore.
It's like trying to get water from a desert dune
It's as difficult as getting water from a desert dune.
Baby if this is the best you can do
If this is your best effort, I'm done.
I'm through, squeezing the love out of you
I'm officially stopping the effort to extract love from you.
Well I'm through squeezing the love out of you
I've decided not to extract love from you anymore.
It's like trying to get water from a desert dune
It's as difficult as getting water from a desert dune.
Baby if this is the best you can do
If this is your best effort, I'm done.
I'm through, squeezing the love out of you
I'm officially stopping the effort to extract love from you.
It's like trying to get toothpaste out of an empty tube
It's like trying to get toothpaste out of an empty tube.
Trying to a find a blizzard down in Baton Rouge
Attempting something impossible, like finding a blizzard in Baton Rouge.
You're love is slower than honey drippin' from a spoon
Your love is exceptionally slow.
I'm through squeezing the love out of you
I'm done trying to extract love from you.
I'm through squeezing the love out of you
(Repetition for emphasis)
I'm through
I've made the decision to stop.
