I looked at the answers you wrote on your hand
when they were asking you about the man
that you�d like to meet and drop everything to run to
I don�t mean to brag and i don�t mean to boast
but i would like to think i�ve got most
of the qualities on your list, so i thought i�d introduce myself to you
Your pouting blue eyes they make contact with mine
and they keep looking through me until they�re behind me
and staring at the face of a man that you know that i know that you know could only bring bad news
You hate to be rude but you really must go
leaving me to wonder if i�ll know
the words that i say that give me away
as being unworthy of you every time
And if he�s the one that you want to go to bed with
and i�m the one you want to wake up to
i can put myself on acetate and make it easier for you
Forget what they tell you, the evenings are yours
the supplicating men become whores
and we�re lined up like chances, and all that you need do is take one
But your look says it clearly, you think me a toy
if you were in the market for a boy
you would find yourself a man and a mattress and make one
But i would have to suppose that that�s the way life goes
when the gardener decides to fall in love with the rose
i�ll protect you from insects but i won�t presume to inhale you
For whatever the reason you�re out of my league
pursuing only leads to fatigue
so i will take my leave and my heart from my sleeve
and i�ll see you whenever i see you again
And if he�s the one that you want to go to bed with
and i�m the one you want to wake up to
i can put myself on acetate and make it easier for you
to take me with you when you go
and tell me things i shouldn�t know
and be the girl i thought i�d finally found a thousand times before
to keep on trying for
