Leith Ross posted a snippet of this song on their TikTok (leithross) with the caption – ‘You On My Arm – starting writing this one awhile ago abt an intense crush. u could say this is a happy love song even. no sad songs 2day’
[Verse 1]
I wish I'd had a chance to walk with you to parties
You would wear a dress, and I would say "I'm sorry”
For something, don't know what it'd be
But you'd say "Nothing, it's nothing"
And smile at me
I wanna sit around and watch you do your hair
Talk it all into the ground and have a ceremony there
For something, don't know what it'd be
But it'd become nothing, it's nothing
And you'd smile at me
[Chorus]
I wanna be, I wanna buy you
Pretty little things and never ever lie to you
Watch you get dressed and compliment your taste
I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
[Verse 2]
I wish I'd had a chance to take over the driving
You'd swear to keep me up
And fall asleep beside me
And nothing, no terrible dream
Could ever wake us
I don't wanna wake up
And then, one good day when we live in the same city
I'll come by and tell you that you look insanely pretty
Like something, don't know what it'd be
But you'd say nothing, like something
And smile at me
[Chorus]
I wanna be, I wanna buy you
Pretty little things and never ever lie to you
Watch you get dressed and compliment your taste 'cause
I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
I'd be better armed if you agreed
[Bridge]
I wish I'd had a chance to walk with you to parties
Where you would wear a dress and I would say I'm sorry
For something
[Chorus]
Oh, I wanna be, I wanna buy you
Pretty little things and never ever lie to you
Watch you get dressed and compliment your taste 'cause
I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
I wanna be, I wanna buy you
Pretty little things and never ever lie to you
Watch you get dressed and compliment your taste, well
I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I'd be better armed if you agreed to take it
I'd be better armed if you agreed

This song is about having a massive crush on someone. It happens, fortunately and unfortunately. I hope it can help with any yearning you may feel the need to do. That’s what it has done for me. I love being gay.
