Callahan's Place 10 - Off The Wall At Callahan's (v5.0) by Spider Robinson Read Free Book Online Page A

lovin’ is the sweetest lovin’ I have ever known
     
           I know just what you’re thinking of
           There’s more to love than making love
           There’s much more to the flower than the bloom
           But every time we meet in bed
           I find myself inside your head
           Even as I’m entering your womb
     
    So come to my bedside and let there be loving
    Twisting and moaning and thrusting and shoving
    I will be gentle; you know that I can
    For you I’ll endeavor to be quite a singular man…
     
    Here’s my identity, stamped on my genes
    Take this my offering: know what it means
    Let us become what we started to be
    On that long-ago night when you first came with me…
     
    O, lady! I love you in a hundred ways, and not for this alone
    But your lovin’ is the sweetest lovin’ I have ever known

 
     
    Out of Your Way
     
     
    You went out of your way to make sure I’d love you
    And now you say be patient for awhile
    You went out of your way to be just as nice as you could be
    Until I fell, and then you modified your style
    You say you’re somebody else’s slave…I suppose we all got our crosses
    But I ain’t nobody’s slave and I figure it’s time I cut my losses
    You could end up mine some way, but baby until that day
    I’m goin’ out of your way by a country mile
     
    You went out of your way to make sure that I’d need you
    You taught me the significance of need
    And I went out of my way to show you who I am and how I fell
    Which is for me a think remarkable indeed
    You got a lotta laughs inside, but I’m afraid that’s where they’re keepin’
    You got a lotta tears there too, and I reckon you’re much more fond of weepin’
    You could end up mine, it’s so—but baby, until I know
    I’m goin’ out of your way with all due speed
     
    You went out of your way to make sure that I’d want you
    With your eyes as much as with your knowing hands
    But you’ll never be happy at all until you want to
    And till I don’t want to be makin’ long-term plans
    They’ve already dealt the hand: I’ll either win it or else I won’t
    You understand how I feel and you either want me or else you don’t
    Take as long as you need to decide—but baby, I got my pride
    And I’m goin’ out of your way while I still can
     
    —oh, can’t you see?
     
    You ain’t no use to me like this: there ain’t enough of you left to miss
    Why don’t you come out of your way, just one more time, with me?

 
     
    Hardon You
     
     
    I know my constant horniness gets hardon you
    Sometimes it seems I’m always in the mood
    If that is so I truly beg your pardon, too
    It wasn’t my intention to be rude
           My love is like   my horniness, in that it never quits
           But I’d love you if you didn’t have those tits
     
    Men have only got the one thing on their mind
    It gets so repetitious it’s a crime
    Somebody said a hard man is good to find
    As long as you don’t find him every goddam time
           You are not only   something that I lust for, that I hunt
           I would love you if you didn’t have a cunt
     
    I’m neurotically erotic, with a taste for the exotic
    And your body is hypnotic when it’s next to me
    I’m dementedly attentive, and in need of no incentive
    But you know you represent much more than sex to me…
     
    You know that I was horny for you from the start
    And that’s the way it’s always gonna be
    But you ought to know your sexiness is just a part
    Of the value you will always have for me
           It may have been what caught my eye: it isn’t why I stick
           I would love you if I didn’t have a dick

 
     
    Mountain Lady
    (Jeanne’s Song)
     
     
    Mountain Lady, sing for me: your singing makes me glad to be alive
    Mountain Lady, give to me your lovin’, for it helps me to survive
    Mountain Lady, stay with me, and let me drink your beauty with my eyes
    I want you to lay with me, and be there
