(I'd Like To Have) A Muse In My Life

Another day, the sun creeping out
Through the cracks in the clouds,
Yet, all I have experienced is more rain.
Last year brought me nothing but more gloom.
Will the coming year bring me that too?

I see men and women fall in love,
Yet, I'm a man not among other men.
I've seen many women I'd like to have fall for me,
But I never see a woman show me as much as a grin.
I've always been told to be patient and wait for love.
Will the coming year bring me that, you think?

So many of my peers are getting married, having children,
But I seem to be a dull diamond in the rough.
I'm happy for my mates for procreating, perpetuating the human race,
But I'd like to have a crack at it myself.
Dear God, what have I done to deserve this?
This, I really must know, sir.
Dear God, what have I done to deserve this?
To me, nothing ever did occur.

Oh! I'd like to have a lover in my life.
That much is plain for any and all to see.
Oh! I'd like to have a woman to love and cherish,
To raise children, to watch them grow.
Oh! I'd like to have a muse in my life
Just so I'd have someone to write for.
A love would be good to have right now,
Right now, from here, there and everywhere.
I'd like to have a muse in my life
To extinquish the tormenting fire in my soul.

Oh! I'd like to have a family like my parents' had,
The model, the American dream infrastructure.
Who do you know wouldn't want all of that?
Oh! I just want to be a normal part of the human race.
Dear Lord, won't you make that so?
Oh! As I said before to you,
I'd like to have a muse in my life
So she'll open my heart, set my spirit free.
I've always been miserable, and people ask me why,
And all I simply have to say:
I just don't have a muse in my life
To set my spirit free.
