You mention to me all the ordinary couples
Are just friends holding hands as far as you can tell
And to put it plainly you would like to have us try it
Make this something more
It's something you would like as well
So you've laid it on the line
It'd be a rotten dirty thing to leave you hanging on a string
When you've said exactly how you feel
Now I feel confident about many things
But when it comes to this I'm afraid to admit I know nothing at all
And what you suggest is more than a little bit frightening
Because I don't want to risk
I'm not ready for that fall
But you've laid yourself out on the line
It'd be a rotten dirty thing to leave you hanging on a string
When I know exactly how you feel
I could just tell you I feel exactly how you feel
