Poesie Noire – I Didn't Ask lyrics

"Hi Jo, this is Marianne
God, I hate these machines
Come on pick up the phone
I know you're there"

I am the only one
The only one I need

All I need is the air that I breathe

Please don't come too close to me
I'm sweet and violent
Can't you see?
Today there is no time to spare
No more intimacy to share

I didn't ask you
You didn't ask me

Me and myself
I am the only one I need
Don't want no company
Just me and the air to breathe

Don't ask me
Tonight I won't explain
"I will carry my own pain"
I can't go on like this
I need another drink
Sink to the bottom and give me time to think

And my devils have all been released
My eyes wide opened but my lips are sealed
I won't talk
I know that you won't mind
Please be gentle
Please be kind

I didn't ask you
You didn't ask me

Me and myself
I am the only one I need
Don't want no company
Just me and the air to breathe

I didn't ask you
You didn't ask me

I am the only one
The only one I need
Don't need no company
Just me 'n the air to breathe
I am the only one
The only one I need
All I need is the air that I breathe
