i’m going to come and get into bed with you
but i don’t want you to talk.
i’m going to come and get into bed with you
but i don’t want you to touch me and
i don’t want you to pressure me into doing anything,
i don’t mean it like that, i'm sorry.
i mean that i just want you to be there
but i don’t want you to do anything.
