25 –year old grad-student, erin, worries that she sabotages her relationships: “my friends tell me no
guy’s going to be good enough for me.” that’s not how i take what you’ve told me, i respond. one guy
couldn’t hold a job, another was scared of you sexually. and then there’s tomas. you were in love with him; you’d have stayed with him, but he left. i just think that up to now each man has had only part of the package. i think you’d welcome the guy who had it all. hey, now i’ve got bob dylan running in my head. do you know “sweetheart like you,” from "infidels?" "you know, i once knew a woman who looked like you/ she wanted a whole man, not just a half." i'll email you the link.
the lyrics are on google. (the internet is so handy.)
well, the press is down, the boss ain't here,
he gone north, for a while,
they say that vanity got the best of him
but he sure left here in style.
by the way, that's a cute hat,
and that smile's so hard to resist
but what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
