Lyrics
VERSE
In a cozy little wine bar, staring out at the bay
Watching you from afar as night replaces day
Trying to keep my composure; don't know if I can
Finding myself moving closer; thinking about a plan
VERSE
Here goes direct, oh, as I walk your way
What should I expect? Ooh, heart pounding away
Guess I got it right; table for two, soft light
May be a big price to pay, but I know what I'd like to say
CHORUS
Do you want to make something of it?
'Cause I know I sure do
Heart going off like a rocket
Oh, all because of you
So do you want to make something of it?
VERSE
I may not be very smart, but I'm smarter than that
You're off the chart, so let's just continue our chat
I'll bide my time; I'll order that great bottle of wine
Maybe after a date or two it won't be out of the blue (when I say)
Repeat CHORUS
SOLO
Repeat CHORUS
TAG
You do? Wow! Fantastic!
