I’m there because she’s there
Though the secret of love
My eyes declare
When they not only watch
But begin to stare
Oh how I wish I could
Clear the air
And show her with which
My heart would swear
Make plain with words
What my soul would bare
Come to terms with my conscious
And make it square
Incurable shyness and
Inexplicit scare
Oh how I wish I could show
My care
And make my wanting
Realy clear
Yet tell her I would not dare
The fear of rejection
Keeps me there
I’m there because she’s there
Though the secret of love
My eyes declare
When they not only watch
But begin to stare
Oh how I wish I could
Clear the air
And show her with which
My heart would swear
Make plain with words
What my soul would bare
Come to terms with my conscious
And make it square
Incurable shyness and
Inexplicit scare
Oh how I wish I could show
My care
And make my wanting
Realy clear
Yet tell her I would not dare
The fear of rejection
Keeps me there
