You Puckered Up

You puckered up
Right In My truck
Declared your trust
Undying love 
You scared the pee
Straight out of me
I said my dear
It isn't clear
The things I feel
When you are near
I need a chance 
To take a glance
At all we have
And if I'm glad
I'll take you home
You'll be my own
If I don't know 
Then you should go
I'll write a song
When you are gone
Of growing old
And all alone
What's wrong with me
Why can't I see
This mystery
Of loving ye
Why am I bound
To this singles crown
I need a nudge
To take the plunge
Just give me space
Up in my place
And if your face
Becomes the case
That plagues my mind
And drives me wild
I won't Deny
The feelings inside
What's that you say?
I'll run away?
No fear outweighs!
Oh no oh nay
I'm not afraid
Bring on that day
