Daunting Love

Say goodnight & go
I'm tired of saying that I won't fall in love with you again
Who knows, maybe I will
Skipping beats, blushing cheeks
Everywhere I go there you are
Daydreaming love scenes in a corner cafe
With a weathered heart in a pile of leaves
Left trembling tectonic tremblings
You get me every time
Loving you is truly daunting
But my bronze eyes cannot see
That loving you is slowly killing me
You get me every time
Why do you have to be so cute?
It's impossible to say no to you
I should keep records of these things
So I'll know what tomorrow brings
Why do you have to make me laugh?
Isn't bad enough that you have to act so tough
Say goodnight & go
I'm not really sure but I think I've been here before
Following you home holding you tight
Whispering dirty things in my ear
Got lucky, you're beautiful when you're asleep
Taking everything off between the sheets
Gently caressing me as I dose off into sleep
But one time, there was this one time
When you called me on the phone 
Just to say you had me on your mind
And you told me, oh yes you told me
"One of these days you'll miss your flight
And you'll have to say with me a night
You can sleep in my bed & I'll sleep on the couch
Than again the heating may go out at my convenience"
I'm tired of saying I'll never fall in love with you again
Who knows, maybe I will
Now say goodnight & go.
