I’m caught in a trap
I’ve never met anyone so opposite of me.
No matter what, you always disagree.
We met through mutual friends.
That’s how a thing like this begins.
Somehow, we end up being together.
If I say it’s canvas, you say it’s leather.
If I say it’s black, you don’t say it’s white.
You say ”It’s blue, so don’t get uptight.”
I hope I don’t fall in love with you.
If so, I won’t know what to do?
They say opposites attract.
I am praying that’s not a fact.
If I fall in love with you
I can only end up being a fool.
How could anything be so cruel?
I just don’t know what to do.
I tried to arrange things to be safe.
That night came & things didn’t wait.
One person was sick with the flu.
So I ended up, again, with you.
No matter how I try we can’t stay apart.
It’s really starting to affect my heart.
It starts beating faster when I see you.
Due to inner stress, or something new?
I hope I don’t fall in love with you.
If so, I won’t know what to do?
They say opposites attract.
I am praying that’s not a fact.
If I fall in love with you
I can only end up being a fool.
How can anything be so cruel?
I just don’t know what to do.
I have to break the loop. This can’t go on.
I am in a tither from dusk till dawn.
We will never be lovers, please take the cue.
Quit acting like you haven’t the slightest clue.
Things got turned around & here we are again.
“We see you two together a lot” friends said with a grin.
“There may be something happening here.”
That’s it. I’m done. Give me another beer.
