I didn't meet your eyes, didn't fall for the disguise
the mask that you wear for all to see
pretty eyes flashing flirting with everyone
just to see who dares
 My interest is caught I'm stuck, spellbound
like some others my chest pounds
 The signals, hints that are so subtle
looks that you give makes me puddle
 Are you serious, is this real
the look in your eyes,is that how you feel
 I read into it, more than I should
but with those signals almost anybody would
 Once I stepped to far I miss-read the signs
guess I couldn't just read between the lines
 You never date someone, who doesn't have potential
so i stoped to think, who else has credentials
 you say I make you smile and I do my best
to make my time worth your while
 Not sure what I did or maby didn't do
I tried my damndest to get through to you
 I pushed the point more than a touch
but I wouldn't of done it, if you didn't mean so much
 Now I won't be a puppy on a string
your every now and then kind of plaything
 I'll fight to keep you, to keep what is mine
but if you're not with me then I got left behind
 So i toss and turn late at night
somethings missing, it's not quite right
 My hands reaching out arms full of air
I sit up realising I'm the one who cares
 Just like usual I've jumped too far
way to damn fast
 I should have known, now it's kickin my ass
