Oh God they got you gun shy
|
You know your skin's as cold as ice
|
Your eyes are double filtered babe
|
You're so afraid to be nice
|
There's no way you're ready
|
To let your defenses down
|
Though I won't come on heavy
|
There is a lesson that I've found
|
|
If you try to look
|
But you don't touch
|
Then you won't touch
|
But you'll never feel
|
And if you don't feel
|
You'll never cry
|
And if you don't cry
|
Then you'll never heal
|
|
There are lessons to life
|
That the lovers got to learn
|
There are corners out there
|
You know they're waitin' somewhere
|
And you've got to be prepared to turn
|
There are callouses that come
|
That the lovers got to earn
|
In the years of your youth
|
You can't be fire proof
|
You know you've got to get burned
|
|
Can't you feel excitement
|
Feel it welling up inside
|
What makes you think emotion
|
Is something that you hide
|
Yes I might take advantage
|
But I'll be gentle if I do
|
And I'll be here in the morning
|
Still lookin' at you
|
|
