If You Know
If only you knew….
And that’s the scary part—maybe you do!
You’re a threat to my throbbing heart
You’re a twinkle to my mind’s eye
Just a damn lovable guy!
In every sense of the word, you’re out of my reach
I try to keep up with your tides—
I’m on the wrong beach!
You’re here
I’m there…
But no matter what—you’re still everywhere!
In my dreams, in my hurricane of a mind
Cursing the spell of your smiles in which I am confined
Silly butterflies hither and thither—swarms of them surround
Upsidedown, downtown, outback, homeward bound
It don’t matter where—you’re there
So. . .
Check me out! Check me OUT!
This hotel’s too expensive
I’m getting way too attentive
And afflicted and predictive and ADDICTED
Trust me, one night of this magical nonsense is enough
So if ya don’t mind I’ll just be grabbing my stuff
Hitching a ride with whomever—gottah make the run
Before I embarrass myself, senseless and outdone!
. . .
Okay. . . .
Here it goes. . .
No, I’m not just saying this cause I was tossed off the road by some
Pick-up truck chum!
I just wanted to have some fun. . .
You know me,
I couldn’t just give in so easily
But I’ll say,
I’ve missed you since I’ve been away
On this silly-willy road of keep-my-sane
You’re still the only beach I wish to reach
So if you know,
If you have known all along. . .
If we’ve been singing the same song. . .
Then, just take me home.
Yeah, yeah! You were right—I was wrong
Marry me quick—just don’t tell my dad or mom!
