Not that anything but that everything.

Not that I don’t love you
          I had never known love till I met you.

Not that you don’t got the fire
          You satisfy my deepest desire.

Not that I need a break
          You are every breath that I take.

Not that anything
          I love you more than everything.

But that I need a younger girl
          Not an older pal.

I need a young shy smile
          Not your rocking motherly laugh.

I need someone to protect in my arms
          Not someone in whose arms to be protected.

An old patch
Will never mend a new wine-skin.

Though I might look like your common guy next door, there's more to me than meets the I. If you get the chance to meet the I, you will find out more about me.
