lyrics

Me and Lionel Ritchie

Since you said what you said you’re so much less appealing
I was up with Lionel dancing on the ceiling
When you floored me with that phrase you coined
We were doing fine, yeah we had possibilities
Then you said what you said and now you’ve got me ill at ease
You floored me with that phrase you coined

Oh honey I wish you could’ve kept those words inside
That’s my cue to leave now girl goodbye

The night air was still, not a hint of a breeze
At an all-night party on a balcony
We were kissing in the moonlight, like black and white movie stars
I guess it could be said we just got caught up in the moment
If I’m guilty of a greater sin then come atonement
I’ll pay the price, of telling love lies

Oh honey I wish I could’ve kept those words inside
That’s my cue to leave now, girl, goodbye
You’ve been waiting on someone, you were thinking i could be that guy
I’d take a chance on you girl but the stakes are too high

We could’ve talked and danced and kissed and laughed
But this is one conversation you don’t want to have with me
I think it’s best if I just go
If only all these words had come out of my mouth then
We wouldn’t be in the situation that we’re in now
And sorry just won’t cut it, girl I know

If only I could ever get the right words out
Maybe you’d understand what I’m all about
I’ve been waiting on someone, and there’s a chance it could be you
But the stakes are so high girl, what if we lose?

But what if we win? And what have we got to lose?
Nothing ever seems to change here but the shoes
Am I just grasping for an alibi?
My heart is beating faster as I turn to you
I can’t think straight, I’m so damned confused
I’m shaking like a leaf and I think that I know why

And then you go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid like I love you

Since you said what you said you are even more appealing
Me and Lionel Ritchie are dancing on the ceiling
I love you girl, but you floored me with that phrase you coined
