DI am just a lotus
And you are a vine
GYou need something to grab onto to get Dby
DI am just a no one
And you are so divine
GYou need solid steel emotion to get Dby
And it's a Dpermanent hesitBmation
And it Gpermeates through elEmation
GIs it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
AIs it cheating if you call me your man?
DI'm receiving wayward glances from your Awondering eye
And pretending not to know you're there
DI am just a notice
And you are a sign
You Gread "under six figures need not applDy"
DI am just so, I am so unfocused
And you are in your prime
GYou need solid steel emotion to get Dby
And it's Dpermanent hesitBmation
And it Gpermeates through elEmation
GIs it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
AIs it cheating if you call me your man?
DI'm receiving wayward glances from your Awondering eye
And pretending not to know you're there
GIs it cheating if I call you sweetheart?
AIs it cheating if you call me your man?
DI'm retrieving wayward glances with my Awondering eye
And pretending not to know you care
