[Verse 1]
I know you can't always be here with me
You can't find what all you need with just one man
You're hardly ever free and seldom lonely
What I'm trying to say is love me when you can

[Chorus]
And don't feel like I expect you to be true to me
Anytime you have to leave, I'll understand
I don't have what all it takes to make you happy
What I'm trying to say is love me when you can

[Verse 2]
Let me be the one you sometimes come to
You just barely have the time for one more friend
I'll be satisfied with any crumb you throw me
What I'm trying to say is love me when you can

[Chorus]
Don't feel like I expect you to be true to me
Anytime you have to leave, I'll understand
And I'll be satisfied with any crumb you throw me
What I'm trying to say is love me when you can
