That's Important To Me

Melissa Etheridge · Other Songs - Melissa Etheridge

Before you turn out the lights

And slip into the bed

Before you turn me on

Slip into my head



Tell me what you want

Tell me what you need

Tell me what's your sanity

That's important to me

That's important to me



I can see it in your soul

Your first or your second guess

You don't have to talk sweet

Honey, you don't have to confess

I don't want you to cry

I don't want you to bleed

I just wanna know your sanity

That's important to me



Oh, it's not important to know

Who you're seeing, where you go

How you spend your hard-earned money

I ain't into addiction, I don't want total control

Just tell me what you think you need

Tell me what you think you need



Now you can handle the body

You can possess the soul

But when it comes to the mind

Some places I'll never go

But if we keep it connected

I know if we try, we'll keep it alive

That's important to me

That's important to me

So talk to me baby

It's important to me

Yeah, yeah, talk to me baby

Talk, talk to me baby

It's important to me
