Wishing Well

Kissing like a bandit stealing time
Underneath the sycamore tree
Cupid by the hour sends valentines
To my sweet lover and me
Slowly, surely
Yours appetite is more than I knew
Slowly, softly
I'm falling in love with you
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears (come on)
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile tears (hey)
Hugging like a monkey see monkey do
Right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head
Said I wanna be, I wanna be your midnight rambler
Slowly, maybe kinda quickly
The blood races through my veins
Quickly, loudly
I wanna hear those sugar bells ring
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears (come on!)
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears (oh baby!)
(wishing well)
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
(wishing well )
A wishing well of butterfly tears
(wishing well)
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
(wishing well)
A wishing well of crocodile tears
(wishing well)
Wish me love a wishing well
(wishing well.)
Wish me love a wishing well to kiss and tell
(wishing well)
A wishing well of butterfly tears
(wishing well)
