Talking To Her

He, should've kissed her on the elevator ride to that rooftop bar

But his mind takes over his instincts

He’s convincing but not persistent

And it keeps him apart

He, should’ve told her he loved her from the very start

But others have showed him resistance

They tore his heart in an instant

He has more than one scar

And maybe he should

Live like someone else

Act like he's not himself

Build courage and pretend that he's

Not afraid that

Anything he does, and anything he says

Puts him to the test

Can keep him from at least

Talking to her

He, should’ve listened to billy, he told it quite straight

But he couldn’t just tell her about it

Even though he wanted to shout it

He was too damn afraid

And maybe he should

Live like someone else

Act like he's not himself

Build courage and pretend that he's

Not afraid that

Anything he does, and anything he says

Puts him to the test

Can keep him from at least

Talking to her

Sometimes a fantasy

Satisfies your every need

Because in your mind

Love always succeeds

And though some might find it sad

When a lover has it bad

That’s when the artist

Comes through

But maybe he should

Live like someone else

Act like he's not himself

Build courage and pretend that he's

Not afraid that

Anything he does, and anything he says

Puts him to the test

Can keep him from at least

Talking to her
