"I could use someone like you.."

I could use a break,
a trip to a lake...
I could use a steak,
or something to make
me forget...
a new hat,
or a new pet
so that I could let
you go away...
On your way,
not wasting the day
on a line to say...

I could use a rest
of this timely test...
Your being a pest
by wearing a vest...
Not letting me in,
leaving me so mean
and longing for the queen,
as if I was keen
to the hurt that you
put me through...

Still, I could use that voodoo
that you so well do...
Because I've seen, as few,
that I could use you...
I'd like your face
to the empty pillow replace...
I don't see it as a race,
for none has taken your place...

Please just don't take too long...
I don't think I'm that strong
to keep singing this song,
without you coming along...
