A new Pretty Face
Something about you
is so new and exciting
Giving me feelings
I don't feel like fighting
I don't mean to be forward
or to come on too strong
but it seems to be mutual
will you say if I'm wrong?
So keep taking my hand
without hesitation
and keep being impulsive
without preparation
You'll never regret it
I give you my word
Tell me if I'm foolish
or sounding absurd
I stand here like atlas
the world on my shoulder
The people around me
have only grown colder
Your caring and warmth
took me by surprise
I saw what I wanted
deep in your blue eyes
I've never been lower
than when we first met
but the pain I was feelin'
you made me forget
You pushed her from my mind
with your gentle gaze
and left me to wonder
my head in a daze
Now you're far away
but still in my head
I can't help but wish
you were here in my bed
But enough of my hopes
and my wandering dreams
I still feel I'm tearing
apart at the seams
So stitch me up proper
with fine threads of trust
and pull them through sweetly
with a needle of lust
My mind is tattered
but my whits are keen
my intentions are *****
but my hands are clean
I'll massage your back
and rub your neck
There won't be a need
to keep me in check
I'll bring you flowers
and take you out to eat
Perhaps even new shoes
to get you off your feet
If I search for you
just what will I find?
Until I have found it
you'll be on my mind
With something to hope for
and nowhere to be
I'll sit here and wonder
if you're thinking of me
That may be unlikely
I may not have a clue
but whatever the case
I'll be thinking of you
So let me get to know you
I won't press romance
but I won't stop it either
Will you give me a chance?
