Lyrics
He's kissing every step you walk
and crying at your heels,
He's oh so very sensitive,
he asks you how you feel.
Well he could walk the street side
and open every door,
But I would love you more.
His perfect jaw, his cool brown eyes
aloof and out of reach,
He's polishing his store-bought charm
and polishing his teeth,
If his looks were a million bucks
then I would be quite poor,
But I would love you more
The circus is come to town I see,
and he's playing just for you,
He's a clown, a freak, a sideshow geek,
and a lion tamer too.
He could walk the tightrope
two hundred feet above the floor,
But I would love you more.
Golden rings, green paper things,
and jewels up to the sky
The perfect song, endless wit,
and mansions on high.
Take everything I ever wanted
and times it all by four,
And I would love you more.
The game is set, the battle on,
the strategy begins
I pull a chair and ante up
perchance that I might win,
He could trump a thousand times
and never count the score,
but I would love you more.
Everything within your sight
is everything you own,
Pilgrims come from miles around
to worship at your throne,
They leave a bloody trail
as they crawl across your floor,
And I would love you more.
