Once Or Twice

I don't know why
I have to fish
For compliments
From you
When I don't make you
Fish for compliments
From me
I give them freely
Because I know
How much they mean
To you
How much they mean
To me
I wish you'd know
How much they mean
To me
How can I tell you
What I need from you?
That it would be nice
To hear something nice
Maybe once or twice
