Every time I go to work I’m caught in your beauty
And I feel it’s my civic duty
To let you know how truly
You make my heart go bananas as my mind goes fruity

But alas I know it’s not that simple
I can’t just speak on how you have such a cute dimple
I have to do something to captivate the mental
Go to such depths as to build a shrine to your temple

You have a Goddess like presence
So I have to be a God in every essence
Styled up to meet your preference
So by my company I can always grant your pleasance

After all, I can’t just go into battle without a plan of attack
Arming myself with lines of love from off the gun rack
Trenching through the wilderness of the unknown leaving bread crumbs if I have to back track
To find the code to the safe of your heart so one day I crack that

When you speak to me I just wish to entice
Provide the company that will more than suffice
Execute wording in a way that’s precise
So the usual way you think of me will make you think twice

This is why I go home and practice my game’s dribble
So when I take a shot on the court of your heart it’ll
Be a swish as I hope not to miss because my aim is a tad brittle
I pray to at least hit your rim of acknowledgement even if only a little

See I do all these things to excite you
So hopefully feelings for me are the feelings that strike you
Because truth is, I don’t think it will be enough to just come out and say
Hey, I like you
