I wanted fast, but she wanted slow
She turned to me and said “yeah…no”
She was a lady of particular taste
I was the chaser and she was the chaste
I saw those eyes and I got lost
With so much want the signals got crossed
So much desire, so much at stake
I felt my pity poor heart start to break
She looked at me with indifferent eyes
No more intention than clouds in the sky
I wanted fast, but she wanted slow
She turned to me and said “yeah…no”
I wanted yes, but she wouldn’t go
She turned to me and said “yeah…no”
On my knees taking a beating
Is this how she makes me pay?
Breathlessly, barely breathing
What she wants I cannot say
Lights in the cafe were starting to dim
At half-past nothing, my future was grim
So, one more near-miss, another dead end
We never made it to “just good friends”
We walked in silence to her front stairs
Me in frustration and her without cares
Then I accused her of hiding her cards, and she said
“Not hard to get, I just play hard”
I thought to leave
I started to go
She turned to me and said “Hello!”
