Kiss Goodnight

One month ago I said "Hey how ya doin'?" You looked right past me, you saw right through and Days and days I kept walking by Dreaming about the moment when you would kiss me goodnight After a week i changed my ways To get a Glimpse, see what you'd say I walked by, you turned your head Said something like, "I'd like to get that in bed" And that's one thing, I don't understand How a girl can be so consumed, by the presence of a man When he doesnt even see her Untill she says something like, "Baby make me purr" Two weeks later, we started going out And then he never knew what I was about. It's happened before, I had you on the line, I cried and said, "Baby be mine, all mine" But you didn't even hear me... Too busy watching the game on TV... And that's one thing I still don't understand How can a girl be so captured by a man... When he doesn't even hear her Untill she says, "Baby it's over" He begged, he pleaded, maybe he cried I said, "How can you love me when we don't see eye to eye?" Then he said something, that made my heart melt He opened up, said how he really felt Saying, "I remember when you first walked by, You never even saw me, I thought I could die But then one day, you acted provocative And I reacted, how any man would." That's one thing I don't understand How a bad girl can be seen by the eyes of a man And that's not how she is on the inside, Once you push all the flirting aside. So I said, "Hey baby, we can work it out, Maybe this time, you'll see what i'm about Maybe this time, you'll know the real me Maybe this time, you'll turn off that damn TV." And that's one thing I don't understand How can a girl, really love a man When she's ordered around, Feels pushed to the ground? Two months later he said, "Let's be wed" How can I marry a man with those posters above his bed? And know he checks out other women When he thinks I don't see him. And I say, "Hey man, please not tonight, How are we so sure this thing will work right? I've had love fail me so many times, And how can you prove you'll always be mine?" He said, "That's one thing, I don't understand How a girl doesn't know, the love of a man... Even when he tells her and makes her feel good? Like any real man should..." Three weeks later, we started to plan Now I really know the true love of a man, And I always let him know How our lives have grown He said, "Hey, baby, you know it's true, You love me, the way I love you And I'm so positive this thing will work right." He kissed my forehead and told me goodnight And that's one thing, I don't understand How a girl just melts by the kiss of a man When she feels, he loves her... And everything will be alright Once he kisses her, goodnight. Written December 14th, 2001 © on Dec 14 2001 04:23 PM PST   20 • 0 • 8
