You Make Me Cry

You make me cry
When I give you subtle clues
About my dreams and fantasies;
Choose one. But you don't choose.

I try to make it clear,
And help you understand.
I might as well be using
Language from another land.

You make me cry
When you don't recognize
I'm feminine, not masculine.
Don't treat me like one of the guys.

A man, you come from Mars.
Woman, I am of Venus.
We live on Earth together.
But there's miles and miles between us.

You make me cry
When you won't take a chance.
If you don't ask, or take my hand
We'll never get to dance.

A penny for your thoughts, I say.
Please tell me this and that.
There's things a woman wants to know.
For yours I seldom pay.

You make me cry
When you don't understand.
