Aborted at the onset—
Baby doll, don't play hard to get.
Wherever you go, I'll be.
I'd like to take this chance to meet somebody new.
Your face, your smile invites me near—
please just hear me through.
These feelings I feel,
no, I can't describe the feeling.
You walked away so I tailed you home.
These lovey-doveys in my chest,
they burst my heart open
and you burst my head open
when you smile and laff at my wiles,
when we chat in line,
but strangely I was doing all the talking.
You're not my type, but I like you:
not platinum blonde, not dirty brown.
You've got a lisp, but that's ok!
You're something else.
These feelings I feel,
no, I can't describe the feeling.
You walked away so I tailed you home.
These lovey-doveys in my chest,
they burst my heart open
and you burst my head open
when you smile and laff at my wiles,
when we chat in line,
but strangely I was doing all the talking.
I love you for your chest, I think it is the best.
I love you for your smile, if you make it worth my while.
Believe me when I say it, no heart of mine contests.
