Lyrics
FLOWER
HE
I fell for you
At the Atlantic Hall
You were watching the couples dancing
Like a Flower on the wall
I touched your hand
Said, "Would you care to dance?"
And you said, "Yes please
I would love to!"
Then your smile lit up my world
SHE
Oh what a man!
What a kind loving face
Want him to hold me like he owns me
Like he really wants to know me
I must be shy
Not frighten him away
How can I make him understand
That I am not the girl I should be?
TOGETHER
But when we danced
We held each other tight
It felt so real
It felt so right
The other couples stared
Smiling with delight
SHE
You gave me just what I was needing
HE
Why should I care that you were leading?
Orchestral bit
HE
Out in the parking lot
She
We kissed so tenderly
You had your fingers in my hair
HE
I had my hand between your knees
And then I took a chance
And got more friendly
But when I touched you there I knew
That you were not the girl you should be
And then you gasped
SHE (gasp)
I must have looked surprised
You pulled away
Tears rolling down your eyes
Then you kissed me hard (KISS)
Turned and ran away
You left me standing there to wonder
And I'm still wondering today
TOGETHER
But when we danced
We held each other tight
It felt so real
It felt so right
Let other people stare
Say what they might
He
For in that moment I knew love
And that love is still alive
I look for you
At the Atlantic Hall
I watch the other couples dancing
Like a Flower
On the wall
My Flower
Where are you now?
