Curvy

We're working on a job together

Actually, we're building a set

And yes, there's been many other times we've met

 

You weren't so nice to me, but since this job there's a gentler turn

I see it when you approach me, you show a softer side

And when the others leave, you approach me closer, with a quicker stride

 

Today I had no doubt, it was easy to read between the lines

You came in quietly, and I'll be honest, you weren't looking fine

As we talked, you seem so fascinated, I felt so watched

This was definitely being taken up a notch

 

So we arrived at a part of the set and you asked me if I liked the plan

I didn't particularly care for it, but honestly it didn't remind me of a man

You said, it's boxy, sharp corners, a masculine design

"Maybe you'd like it curvy," you say, and I'm looking at your sight line

 

They say you can tell where someone is looking from a hundred feet away

Well, this was much less feet than that today

I knew exactly where you were looking

I knew what that look meant

And yes, I liked it better curvy

So maybe your advice was heaven sent
