Conversation With Love

(album: Too Afraid To Say It - 2017)

(Scatting)

Have you ever seen a woman walk
With so much class
Hanging 'round central
Shaking that hand
And I know that you say
You'd choose me any day
But I still think I'd look better that way
So I would like to ask you a thing or two
And I would like to know more about you

Should I really be saying this?
Just let it go

Have you ever seen a man
Who pulls your heart by it's strings
Dragging you closer saying
"Pretty little thing"
And you know in your heart
You should fall for his traps
And yet in your mind
You're just running laps

Oh, love
You're a strange thing
That I haven't taken time to comprehend
Oh, love
You're consuming
And I don't think that we'll ever end
Oh, love

Should I really be saying this?
Just let it go

"Love's a maze" my mother says
A winding puzzle with no end
I'm definitely lost in love
Love's not something I can hold
At least that's what the poets told
So can I at least have a conversation with love?
Can I talk to love?

You confuse me in your ways
And where you tell me to go
You've got me convinced
That something is true
And I believe it, 'cause I don't know
The difference
In these little steps that I must take
There is something I can make
But I don't understand anything
About love

I can't tell
What you're thinking anymore
Was I ever able to control you
Or was that just an illusion?
You know you left
Me lagging behind
And now I'm too old
But still don't know how to find
Anyone who can love me now

Because "Love's a maze" my mother says
A winding puzzle with no end
I'm definitely lost in love
I just can't seem to find anyone
Love's not something I can hold
At least that's what the poets told
So can I at least have a conversation with love?
Can I talk to love?
