You’re a little too handsome and you’ll break my heart,
but you’re a little too fine for me to leave you alone.
You’re a little too amused by my charms to let me depart,
for you’re a little too sweet on me, darlin’, to let me go home now.
Honey, come on, you can tell me,
the real way that you want it to be.
I promise that I’ll make it easy,
if you tell me that you want it to be me.
You’re a little too mysterious to ever be understood,
but you’re a little too lucky to be left alone on love’s door.
You’re a little too smooth a talker for your own good,
so you’re a little too proud to beg me to stay, and a whole lot more.
Honey, come on, you can tell me,
the real way that you want it to be.
I promise that I’ll make it easy,
if you tell me that you want it to be me.
You’re a little too manly too, so you say our love is a lie,
for you’re a little too scared of what you know you feel inside.
You’re a little too honest to pretend that you’re not my guy,
because you’re a little too in love with me now to ever say good-bye.
Honey, come on, you can tell me,
the real way that you want it to be
I promise that I’ll make it easy,
if you tell me that you want it to be me.
Come on, tell me that you want it to be me.
Come on, tell me that you want it to be me.
Come on, tell me now that you want it to be me!
Note: this poem “came down” fully formed as lyrics! It is just waiting for a songwriter to add their music. So . . . if you know of such a melody writer . . . let them know that we have a song to finish! And take a look at the poem One Sock; that baby has “country western lyrics” written all over it!
