It was supposed to be a walk down the street,
Me and the miss were out for things we should eat,
It wasn't too long till' they started smirking and lurking and catching my eyes,
I was caught by surprise- I did-
what any man would do- I started looking back, I swear it's not you,
It's just that it's in my blood and right now there's a flood and I'm starting to sweat with the things I should get from you.
Is this the way we're gonna be for good,
I would erase it if I thought I could.
Is this the way we're gonna be for good,
If I could face it, I probably would by now.
Last night I watched you sleep and things just made sense,
You have my heart in both your hands and still I live on the fence,
Cause you can call it a cat but it won't change the fact that you live with a tiger that's just getting higher.
So run your fingers through my hair, make sure that I don't even dare,
And maybe some things should stay in my brain but you got on this train, baby you should know.
Is this the way we're gonna be for good,
I would erase it if I thought I could.
Is this the way we're gonna be for good,
If I could face it, I probably would by now.
