LET ME IN

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

about

Jealousy, the ultimate poison. Heard awhile back that the two shrinks promoting open relationships took it back. ‘It doesn’t work’, they said. 'Human beings aren’t built that way, at least in most cases.' Talking with my nephew, Sam, about all this led to LET ME IN. (The maracas = rattlesnake of the jealous.) Hopefully all vitriol will lead to a denouement.
PS. Always love the heart and honesty of John Lennon’s ‘Im Just A Jealous Guy’.

lyrics

LET ME IN

let me in
open the door
open the fucking door!

i been out
you been in
i been busy
you on the phone?

i ain’t jealous
ya might throw a fit
open relations
is such a bitch

we been faking it
for too long
shoot me up w smohin’ hot
something’ warm

wear something’ sexy
patient leather shoes
i close my eyes you be
someone new

im climbin in the window
i hidin’ behind the couch
i listen t yr conversation
w someone else

make me cup o’ coffee
crack me a beer
look me in the eye, honey
come over here

take out yr ukulele
sing me that song
that made me fall in love w you
on the porch

was it rainin’
r did the sun come out
i can’t remember
now ya got me

if yr gonna cry
then i might too
god damn it baby
let’s fall in love again
that ok w you?
