Have you ever seen a woman walk with so much class?
Hangin' 'round central, shaking that- hand
And I know that you say you'd choose me any day
But I still think that I'd look better that way
So I would like to ask you a thing or two
And I would like to know more about you
Should I really be saying this?
Or just let it go?
Have you ever seen a man who pulls your heart by its strings?
Dragging you closer saying "pretty little thing"
And you know in your heart you shouldn't fall for his traps
And yet in your mind you're just running laps
Oh love, you're a strange thing,
That I haven't taken time to comprehend
Oh love, you're consuming,
And I don't think that will ever end oh love
Should I really be saying this?
Or just let it go?
Love's a maze my mother says
A winding puzzle with no end
And I am definitely lost in love
Love's not something I can hold
At least that's what the poets told
But can I at least have a conversation with love?
Can I talk to love?
You confuse me in your ways and where you tell me to go
You've got me convinced that something is true
And I believe it, cause I don't know the difference
In these little steps that I must take
There is something I can make
But I don't understand anything about love
I can't tell what you're thinking anymore
Was I ever able to control you?
Or was that just an illusion?
You know, you left me lagging behind
And now I'm too old but still don't know how to find
Anyone who can love me for now
Because love's a maze my mother says
A winding puzzle with no end
And I am definitely lost in love,
I just can't seem to find anyone
Love's not something I can hold
At least that's what the poets told
But can I at least have a conversation with love?
Can I talk to love?
