Letting you in was the worst thing I could do I don’t recall it taking much to convince me to I thought I had escaped physical attraction So imagine my surprise at a cardiac reaction I thought I was stronger than I really am It took all my attention just to try to be a better man I guess it was no use; I didn’t really get to choose So I guess I’ll let it go for a little while I wanted something physical But I forgot how much My heart misinterprets The way that I get touched Looking at you Falling so much harder than I ever wanted to I guess it was a touch too much that did me in Your brand of physical seduction is what Got me hooked And all it took was just a  Touch too much to begin I guess I was wrong about what that smile would do to me I thought a one-night stand was well within my capabilities But those legs, those lips, and an ass that just won’t quit When you’re dancing right beside me, I know it’s hopeless to resist The chains that you put on me hurt so good You’ve got a much tighter hold on me than I ever thought anyone would But I won’t complain ‘cause I know that what’s in store Is everything I ever wanted and so much more I thought that my reaction time was  Faster than this But I guess I overestimated My resistance to your kiss Looking at you Falling so much harder than I ever wanted to I guess it was a touch too much that did me in Your brand of physical seduction is what Got me hooked And all it took was just a  Touch too much Why does everybody have it easier than me Turning it off when it starts to feel more than good I guess I was never made to operate like this So I guess I’ll wait to find somebody who wants more than just my kiss Looking at you Falling so much harder than I ever wanted to I guess it was a touch too much that did me in Your brand of physical seduction is what Got me hooked And all it took was just a  Touch too much to begin All it took was just a  Touch too much for it all to begin

I’ve been meaning to ask you what your intentions are Since you held my hand so closely in your own And I’ve been wondering if you know what you’re getting into ‘Cause no one seems to stick around this long Baby, I’ve got to ask Are you really up to the task Or will I wake up someday to you gone And I’m tryna find out What your motivation is And if you're gonna Stick around for long It doesn’t happen every day Oh no Can you tell me if it’s in my head Or really going on? Oh I’d be a fool to ask for proof But are you really who you say you are? Will you, as time passes by, Still look at me with a twinkle in your eye That twinkle is the brightest star of all I’ve grown skeptical of Lovers in the past I know it’s only Messed things up much more But, oh my dear, I hope my fears don’t Make this hard for you ‘Cause I can’t have one more Fair-weather lover Walking out my door again Oh, I’m just trying to Understand How a girl like you could Fall for a guy like me It’s simple, I’m sure it is So I’m sorry that I insist that you Tell me one more time you’ll never leave It’s not your fault, It could be mine But I’ve been hurt One thousand times And my heart Can’t take another fall Please, as time passes by Look at me with that twinkle in your eye ‘Cause that twinkle is the brightest star of all That twinkle is the brightest star of all

I’m not surprised That it took so little time For me to get wrapped up in you And I’m not at all confused It seems I have a habit Of falling too quickly Falling too soon And I’ve heard I’ve heard people say The best things, they come To people who wait And I must say I have to agree ‘Cause I’ve been waiting for you To be waiting for me I’ve gotta jump on it I can’t let it slip away No, I can’t let it fall through my fingers And I hope my timing’s good enough Not gonna let myself fall out of love I’m tired of waiting For the things people say will come to me If I just kneel down and pray And I’ve been waiting my whole life For a girl like you And I’ll be damned if I let you slip away And I’ve heard I’ve heard people say The best things, they come To people who wait And I must say I have to agree ‘Cause I’ve been waiting for you To be waiting for me I’ve gotta jump on it I can’t let it slip away No, I can’t let it fall through my fingers And I hope my timing’s good enough Not gonna let myself fall out of love Won’t fall out of love . . . It seems all this time Ever since I made you mine I've prayed that you wont' go away That's why through the years Through the happiness and fears I’m begging you darling to stay I’ve gotta jump on it I can’t let it slip away No, I can’t let it fall through my fingers And I hope my timing’s good enough Not gonna let myself fall out of love Won’t fall out of love . . .

Excuse me, miss, I saw you from Across the room and I Just had to come over and say hello That low-cut shirt and pretty face They really caught my eye And I don't mean to be forward but I thought You might like to know You're beautiful and I Was hoping that I might Take you home tonight And bring you back tomorrow And maybe I could make you so Happy and not forsake you  And maybe I could love you more than Just tonight Excuse me, miss I couldn't help But kiss those lips of yours I hope I'm not moving too fast for you Baby, please don't think I am Coming on too strong Cause your body seems to agree with every  Little thing I do You're beautiful and I Was hoping that I might Take you home tonight And bring you back tomorrow And maybe I could make you so Happy and not forsake you  And maybe I could love you more than Just tonight It's more than just your face It's more than just your body  It's every little thing you do to me And oh you do them so well It's all those little looks you give And the smile you always wear And the way you talk to me when you run your Fingers through my hair Excuse me, miss, I wanted to say How much you mean to me And I don't think I can stress this point enough I'm happy that I said hello And you took a chance on me Cause without you by my side I would be SOL out of luck You're beautiful and I Was hoping that I might Take you home tonight And bring you back tomorrow And maybe I could make you so Happy and not forsake you  And maybe I could love you more than Just tonight You're beautiful and I Was hoping that I might Take you home tonight And bring you back tomorrow And maybe I could make you so Happy and not forsake you  And maybe I could love you more than Just tonight

Looking around at the mess of my room I finally see what I’ve done And looking around at the tear-stained shirts I see what I have become I’ve been losing my fluids from out of my eyes So I guess I could use a drink Something with a little bite would be nice ‘Cause I don’t really wanna think I could use something white or green To get me through the day Powdered, solid, or in between I don’t have a preference either way But my emotions are taxing me And I don’t think I can pay So I’ll just light up another cigarette And I’ll let the smoke take me away And I’m gone I must be somewhere out of my mind Gone Oh, sanity’s so hard to find Gone I’m gone from my head ‘cause I just couldn’t take the pain I bet you’re sitting at home with your newfound lover Holdin’ his hand so tight Smiling and thanking the Lord above you That you finally found someone right I wish you the best in your new endeavor And I hope that it turns out okay But looking at you and your new forever I can’t say the same for myself but I guess that It could be worse, but it could be better And it’s without you either way I could find another way to be And lie to myself Find something more addictive than your touch And try it by itself But I’ll find my way right back to you Though it’s worse off for my health And in the end I know I’ll only End up by myself And I’m gone I must be somewhere out of my mind Gone Oh, sanity’s so hard to find Gone I’m gone from my head ‘cause I just couldn’t take the pain Baby, come back to me I’m messed up can’t you see? Won’t you say that you love me? If you stay away You know my heart will ache I’ll find something to set me free And I’m gone I must be somewhere out of my mind Gone Oh, sanity’s so hard to find Gone I’m gone from my head ‘cause I just couldn’t take the pain

I’ve had too many talks after class To know where this one’s going I’ve had too many broken hearts To know how this one ends I’ve had too many tell-you-laters and Unrequited loves To know unequivocally, that I’m —— Out of luck I’m the kind of guy You take home to your mother Oh, but you never Take back to your place Respectable, capable, of everything But keeping your interest But your mama’s just a judge of character And you’re the judge of me And I’ve heard it more times Than I care to admit But hearing it from you Stings just the slightest little bit Let me stop you right there ‘Cause I know where you’re going with this Let me pack up my dignity And remedy the situation now I hate to cut you off But you’re feeding me the same old lines I’ve got too many IOU’s to know There will be no you and I “It’s not you, it’s me,” you say Believe me, I know I’ve experienced that more times Than you could ever know And I can see You don’t use these lines on other guys But, then again, it’s not them you’re getting rid of You’re getting rid of me And by this time The water rolls off my back But I’m still getting wet ‘Cause the tears haven’t stopped falling yet Let me stop you right there ‘Cause I know where you’re going with this Let me pack up my dignity And remedy the situation now I hate to cut you off But you’re feeding me the same old lines I’ve got too many IOU’s to know There will be no you and I They’re the oldest lines From a book I’ve read too many times But just because I know the ending Doesn’t mean I don’t cry When I find out the hero dies Let me stop you right there ‘Cause I know how this one ends– You feed me a few patronizing lines And say, “We can still be friends.” But I’d rather you be Brutally honest with me Than putting on a happy face Lying through your teeth (Let me stop you right there) ‘Cause I know how this one ends I hate to cut you off But you’re feeding me the same old lines I’ve got too many IOU’s to know There will be no you and I

I’m a honeymoon lover Girl, there ain’t no other Who can love you like the way that I do I’m a honeymoon lover I sure don’t mean to hover But I just can’t seem to stay away from you And when the honeymoon’s over I’ll try to keep it going with you I should probably give A little bit of warning I’m not what I first appear to be I’m a little on the shy side But once I get inside There’s no stopping me And as charming a facade As I put on, I’m not that innocent I’ll break your heart But it sure ain’t my intent I’m a honeymoon lover Girl, there ain’t no other Who can love you like the way that I do I’m a honeymoon lover Go home and tell your mother You’ve found a man who’s loving you for you And when the honeymoon’s over I’ll try to keep it going with you First minute, I’ll be sweet And the next one won’t be sour But this love is much more bitter than you thought Always begging for attention But with the best intentions, I’ll hurt you and it’s nothing I can stop I should probably let you know That the pain I cause is nothing personal It happens every time I get this far I’m a honeymoon lover Girl, there ain’t no other I’ll tell you ‘bout it right from the start I’m a honeymoon lover Don’t get invested in your comfort You never know who’s gonna break your heart And when the honeymoon’s over I’ll try to keep it going with you I can make no promises Of romantic prosperity and a forever love It always seems to be a weakness of mine To keep it going long enough to break the ties that bind I’m a honeymoon lover And I sure don’t mean to smother But there ain’t no guarantees when it comes to you (for me and you..?) I’m a honeymoon lover Girl, there ain’t no other Who can love you like the way that I do Yes I do Me and you . . .
