From the recording Humphrey Piedmont's Revelation Well
Lyrics
Am I Asking Too Much
Give me a lover I don’t know too
That don’t feel like this place is hell
Who knows the secret and make love stay
And keep your lover under your spell.
Give me a living that’s more than a job
Something with a handle instead of a knob t
That leaves me with an energy that cannot rob
Purchase by the hour or treat me like a dog.
Am I asking too much
You’d think I was asking for the world
When all I want all I need
Is something that I can be involved with
Put me in a car, put me in a jet
Let me take the scissors to the safety
Walk me out to the edge of the ledge
And let me feel the power till there’s nothing left.
Am I asking too much
You’d think I was asking for the world
When all I want all I need
Is something that I can be involved with
Here I am sick to death,
Running outta a room and running outta of breath
Running out of patience on the waiting room bets
On who’s gonna be next
Am I asking too much
You’d think I was asking for the world
When all I want all I need
Is something that I can be involved with
