A dime or two

With your behavior shrew,
And words not true,
A dime or two,
Tell me what's my worth for you.

Am I a precious stone?
Or just skin and bones?
Am I the sugar to your tea?
Or just a mere freebie?
A dime or two,
Tell me what's my worth for you.

Does your day still go right?
And do your eyes still shine bright?
When I am not around..
A dime or two,
Tell me what's my worth for you.

Spare a minute or two,
And show me what's my worth for you.
Is this too much to ask?
Am I expecting too much?

We are all sacks of flesh,
Then why do you value me less?
What's so different about me?
And what's so different about you?

Why are mixed signals all I get?
Just say a word or two and tell me,
A dime or two,
what's my worth for you?
