~Never Asked!~
This song was from way back in my 20's also, it will be on the album Blue Cries probably and of course it is part of the Melodies of Israel Box Set! Moment's we can all relate too, like when someone projects there's more between you then there really is and you have to break it to them, not only are they wrong, but that you in fact don't even like them much or consider them a friend at all! And poof now you have a song on how to break it too them... and not so gently at that at all! lol
~Never Asked~
1st verse:
If You only understood me better
If you only had a clue,
Less would need to be said to you..
If I could only get this through!!!
It MAY be true,
I never intended to hurt you,
but you over looked some things
that with me, you should never do.
YOU said YOU forgive me,
BUT I NEVER asked for that
From YOU!
Chorus:
That is why You'll never be near me,
That is why You'll never get through.
That is why I'll never reveal me,
"NO" You'll never know just who I am.
verse 2:
You claim to have read,
More of those kinds of books then me,
But if that were at all true,
You wouldn't say HALF of the things that you do!
And I wouldn't DIS YA
the way that I do!
I hate to disappoint you,
REALLY I DO,
But I know what I'm talking about,
from all that I've read.
(Mini chorus)
You said you forgive me,
BUT I NEVER asked for that from you!
Chorus:
That is why You'll never be near me
That is why You'll never get through.
That is why I'll never reveal me,
"NO" you'll never know just who I am!
verse 3:
You seem to have forgotten,
that over the Yrs
I've done a few things more,
then your words Can EVER Compare too.
I've been to more then one place or two
and over the yrs,
I've met A HELL of A LOT
More people then you!
I've lived through some shit,
AND SEEN A LOT TOO.
(mini chorus)
So I hate to disappoint you
REALLY I do,
But YOU OVERLOOKED a thing or two,
and that with me is something
you just shouldn't do!
verse 4:
So thanks for TRYING to tell me A thing or two,
BUT It's ME YOU really aughta have been listening too!
It was Many yrs ago, That I easily PASSED through you,
But YOU just NEVER had a clue!
Chorus:
And..
That is why You'll never be near me
That is why you'll never get through.
That is why I'll never Reveal Me,
"No" You'll never know JUST who I am.
If You only understood me better,
Then you might have, just had a clue,
and less words would have needed to be said
Trying to get this through to you!!
It may be true,
I never intended to hurt you,
BUT you over looked some things
and that with me, is something
YOU should never do.
You said, "You forgive me"
But I never asked for that
From YOU!
The End!

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
