lyrics

It always starts this way
a splendid repartee
I’m dazzled by the cunning things
you’ve said
You’re clever, sharp, astute
I’m stunned, awestruck and mute
Romantic notions cloud my head
I’m drunk on conversation
My mental machinations
Make it hard to hear
I try to concentrate
But in my altered state
My muddled mind ain’t very clear

It’s not that I’m ignoring you
It’s not that I’ve better things to do
I’m afraid you might think me rude
‘Cause my mind turns to mush
In vain I watch your pretty mouth and I gush

Lulled by your dulcet voice
I haven’t any choice
To a dreamland I am sent
I shake to attention
To figure which direction
The conversation we were having went
But then I get distracted
Your long eyelashes
Like a butterfly
You see me blankly grinning
You lost me at the beginning
To deny that would be a lie

It’s not that I’m ignoring you
It’s not that I’ve better things to do
I’m afraid you might think me rude
‘Cause my mind turns to mush
Girl, you make my foolish heart gush

It’s not that I’m ignoring you
It’s not that I’ve better things to do
I’m afraid you might think me rude
‘Cause my mind turns to mush
In vain I watch your pretty mouth
In vain I watch your pretty mouth
In vain I watch your pretty mouth
– and I gush
