Katie Dinerman- Need Me Too

How To Build A Kite

Cities & Seas

Took Two Weeks

Kate don’t lie
he’s a wonderful guy
and I’m sure he knows you’re 
oh so wonderful too
but if you tried I think that you could see that I

well I’m better with you
and you’re so much better with me
and that together we could always be

I don’t know what love is
but I’ve got a degree
and I could work it all out with you

but Kate you’re too far
well you pahk your cah in the yahd
and I’m stuck here
got the New York City blues
oh it’s hard to be apart
when all I’ve got

is one memory with you
an afternoon at my school
a slice of pizza and a baklava

no I don’t know what love is
but I can feel in my heart
that I could work it all out with you

Kate don’t lie...
well you know that I...
I’m your kind of guy...
oh Kate, won’t you please be mine?

and it’s a bad idea
yeah they’ve all told me as much
to steal away someone I barely know
but they don’t know what love is
or how I cherish your touch
Kate I could work it all out with you
