Amy Rigby - What I Need lyrics

Timmy's in the tub taking too much time Mary's on the couch with a nursery rhyme Who's that man knocking at the door? We've never seen him before We're not tired, can't we stay up late Timmy's stomach aches from something he ate Better sit down in the rocking chair Gotta get the gum out of Mary's hair Sometimes it's so hard to be alone What I need What I need What I need For you to disappear But still be here When he goes home I was a kid when I married your dad Things were good, then things went bad Now Timmy's having fits cause his homework's wet Mary just screams til her needs get met The place is quiet now it's twenty past ten There's laundry on the bed, let's sit in the den Gee it's real nice to kiss your mouth But this doesn't feel right Could you sleep on the couch? Sometimes it's so hard to be alone What I need What I need What I need For you to disappear But still be here When he goes home
