Scratch my itch

Sometimes I swear the second that I am using both hands

To carry something say, I get an irritation in my nasal

Or maybe something right square between my shoulder blades

Drives me mad and I go off on one of my mindless tirades

There’s a cure for my ills, no I don’t need no pills

Just my baby beside me to reach up under my gills

Stops me wiggling so I don’t pop a stitch, calms my nerves so

She’s my baby and I love her so, but baby right now I really

Babe you know sometimes my issue don’t pertain to my skin,

There’s an empty spot beside me and it grates me within

A rash of insecurity has spread all over making me squirm

I need the warmth of your touch and babe I need it long term

Stops me wiggling so I don’t pop a stitch, calms my nerves so

She’s my baby and I love her so, but baby right now I really

Sidle up close woman, rub away the pain, let your love wash

Walk with me, learn with me, grow with me, laugh with me,

I need that warmth babe, long term, stop all that wiggling

Babe you know I love you forever, mama come to me and

Scratch me baby
