I'm trying to convince myself I know what something slow And steady looks like. But who can I fool When I still recall so vividly How on day two, he put his hand Under my shirt And I asked him not to stop For eight long months? How do I lie so convincingly When I still remember so well Before, before How i would tell anyone who would listen: "I fell in love the first day I met him, And did not stop for The next year and a half." How can I tell anyone, How would they-- Could they? Believe me, When they know? When they know I have such deep Intuition for what I want, That I dig my claws in by Minute one, And don't let go until They beg.

When they know I have such deep Intuition for what I want, That I dig my claws in by Minute one, And don't let go until They beg.
Every relationship I've had started quickly, and lasted forever. I know what I want immediately, they just aren't ready to stop with me.
