The Contract

She's at my doorstep waiting
she's got up piece of paper and pen
she writes a contract for me
I'll signing with my left hand
and I'll bet the fine print's just fine
won't get the magnifying glass
she's got an honest face and hands
but here's my amendment

all bets are off if you try to control it
all bets are off if you don't listen
I'm moving on if you try to control it
all bets are off if you don't listen
if you don't listen, if you don't listen
so just listen

I'm going to fall in love here
I'm going to, so just make it easy
I'm going to fall in love here
I'm going to, so just make it easy
just make it easy
please make it easy, yes
just make it easy on me

she calls all lawyer to make sure I really love her and I do
I'm learning all these things about her
she's testing me, I'm testing you

all bets are off if you try to control it
all bets are off if you don't listen
I'm moving on if you try to control it
all bets are off if you don't listen
and you don't listen, no you don't listen
you don't listen, no you don't listen

I'm trying to fall in love here
I'm trying, but you don't make it easy
I'm trying to fall in love here
I'm trying, but you don't make it easy
no, you don't make it easy
please make it easy, yes
just make it easy on me

I'm going to climb up to her floor
and look through all her windows
she's writing in her diary
she keeps it with her contracts
"how apropos" I said out loud
her racing glare strikes me down
" this is how I do things...

" and since this is your first offense
I'm not calling Smith just yet
but we need to have a serious talk
about breach of contract"

and she waves a little piece of paper in my face and says:

"I'm trying to fall in love here
I'm trying, but you don't make it easy
I'm trying to fall in love here
I'm trying, but you don't make it easy
no, you don't make it easy
don't make it easy, no,
don't make it easy on me...

"I'll still be on your doorstep
without the paper and pen
won't call a lawyer
there's no more tests
you passed the tests
the tests are over
if you promise not to stand outside my window
unless I know you're there
and you're coming in
you can come in
I'll let you in
please come in..."
