1.14.2006if and whenby Charles LeRoy(from the Jello Chronic Chronicles Revisited Collection, and other poems I refused to surrender for Dr. Pepper and my grandfather's Playboys)if and when you runthere will come a time when you fallright smack dab on your face;it'll hurt,really hurt.not a soul will care,not even poor old Mother Teresa;haven't you heard?she's dead.you can cry if you like, it's okay;but just so you know?she's been dead for some time, now.pick yourself up,wipe off the dirt and blood,and try to fake a smile;adults do this all the time,and i mean ALL the time.keep walking forward,never look back unless there's something to learnabout the time you fell on your face;keep your heart on your sleeve,knowing that it's okay as long as you are tough on the outside;not soft on the inside and even softer on the outer.be kind, compassionate but always realistic;be truthful, be loving but always ready to leave.and for, god's sake, stay out of any relationshipthat involves a lot of ass kissing;you can't be in love if you have to kiss somebody's assfor the rest of your life.find your center,find your partner;make passionate love,don't just fuck.forget about the ass-kissing rulein the bedroom;it's okay to beg for sex,men and women do it ALL the time.just rememberto be realistic, ready to leave, always moving forward.if and when you runand that time comes when you fall;pick yourself up,fake a smile,and don't think too much about it.

Yes I do want her and that will never change.

There is so much nuance to the emotion this song is describing. It's so frustrating that it gets devalued playing in retail stores where no one listens to the lyrics.
