Something New

I've discovered something new
I have fallen in love with you
I decided long ago I'd be a bachelor all my life
Now I ache for you to be my wife

I've never experienced this before
My heart's on the ceiling and my tongue's on the floor
All I can do is drool in my chair
Lusting for your ruby lips and golden hair

I always thought no woman could get to me
Now I have no desire to be free
I've lost all concept of time and space
All I can see is your beautiful face

This is all new to me, how can this be?
I'm not sixteen, I'm forty three
I never thought I'd end up this way
You've reduced me to a blubbering pile of clay
