If you have ever drowned in a dream In one night You dreamed of living romantically Even though you weren't romantically involved With someone Someone was saying to you;
Walk the streets tall Don't let them swallow you Be clean in the inside So be on the outside Wear the sweetest scents on the outside But radiate them more in words, from the inside To every single thing that lives That you ever come across in the streets Oh, oh, to the ladies in particular
If you have the time, and the situation allows Smile and tell every lady you meet down the streets That she's pretty way more than what society has said It doesn't matter how you think she actually looks She doesn't deserve yet another silent gaze from you Pat and brush her shoulder Careful not to be too invasive
See if she smiles Be happy if she does Find out if she would like a date some time Or just to catch some air and escape from anything That may be draining her from within Make sure your intents are clear and honest And there is no ulterior motive to your act Be happy if she says yes Don't be so sad if she says no, also After all no one loses anything at the end of the day Right?
So she loves dinner, or the idea of catching some air Together, determine the date, time and venue On the day Make sure you arrive at least ten minutes earlier On your right hand a fresh rose flourishing On your face, a wide smile glamouring Say hello and extend your arm, let her hold on to it Walk her into the venue, don't lose sight of her Let her wait while you pull out a chair for her Call her a princess and politely ask her to sit
You're here to listen Allow her to bare her soul If she's happy then you're all happy If her soul is bruised, then guide her Towards what could heal Be bold but not intimidating Be strong, let passion guide you Be in control, don't let lust derail you Let the day be over and take her to the cab Give her a call later and ask if she arrived safe Now lay quietly in your bed and know you've saved the day
Be proud for not having been proud Be happy for having an ear to listen Be joyful for having seen a smile on her face Be thankful for being even the slightest love That someone could touch Be humble, after every good you would have done Be grateful for the amazing company you'd have had But more than anything, Be focused on your course in life
You're shaken awake by another friendly call Just wake up and smile What are you waiting for? In one lifetime Live romantically Even though you aren't romantically involved with someone...
