MONIQUE

Come to me Monique and I’ll tell you a secret
that I haven’t told for a while
I could use a soft ear and a warm gentle mouth
to hold in my deepest desire
Don’t confuse me, it’s dark but I could swear
that you’re lying right here by my side
Don’t forget me, when you’re out there looking for love in another man’s eyes

I’m playing it now, and it’s that old sweet song
And I’ve been singing it out, for way too long
Now my chords are all wrong
And my words have all gone
And it’s just a melody dancing around in the back of my mind

So come closer Monique, you can believe when I speak
because I couldn’t tell you a lie
I have the heart of a fighter, who’s been fighting too long
and he’s ready to lay down this time
You’re right about me and it’s easy to see why you’re happy
just playing your part
And I’ll watch from afar, cause when I’m chasing your star,
I know I am beat from the start  

I’m playing it now, and it’s that old sweet song
And I’ve been singing it out, for way too long
Now my chords are all wrong
And my words have all gone
And it’s just a melody dancing around in the back of my mind

If I can’t hold out Monique it’s just cause I’m weak
and I feel like my head is on fire
To you I am new, and I know that that’s true
but it feels like I’ve known you a while
So I’m trusting in you, though I might be a fool
well I feel like this feeling is right
But I’ve been wrong before and I’ll do it again,
I just can’t stop singing tonight

I’m playing it now, and it’s that old sweet song
And I’ve been singing it out, for way too long
Now my chords are all wrong
And my words have all gone
And it’s just a melody dancing around in the back of my mind
