give it up for that half-set two-step,
I bet, I bet you’ve got beautiful eyes.
‘n ain’t that cheatin’?
ain’t no clever in that,
ain’t no knowin’ in that.
“I bet you’ve got the most beautiful eyes.”
ain’t that code for–
–can I have, can I have,
don’t care ’bout you,
don’t care ’bout you,
can I have some pics please?
“I bet you’ve got the most beautiful eyes.”
I’ve got all of English to caress you with,
I’ve got these vowels an consonants to wrap ’round you,
to run up ‘n down your curves,
I got cadence ‘n rhythm,
I got meanin’ ‘n diction,
Ain’t no,
ain’t no distance,
ain’t no distance an excuse.
if I say,
if I ever say,
“I bet you’ve got the most beautiful eyes.”
you know I ain’t tryin’.
