Stepping Over the Line

Listen - 
I'm a grown ass woman
And I ain't got that much time
Left on this earth
That I'm going to worry about
What I can say
And what I can't
According to proper
Friendship etiquette

So if I want to verbally 
Step over that line
And tell you 
I think you're hot
Knowing full well
That an impenetrable fortress
Will never be breached
What is the big deal?

So I'm going to say it
I think you're hot 

From the safety
Of a text message
