lyrics

yeah, no no
oh no, no

it's been a month or two, since I've seen you
I don't know what to think, I don't know what to do
under the blue glow, the two of you glow
I hit a new high, I hit a new low
so what's the low down? I gotta know now
is this a good time? or this a showdown?
I wasn't countin' on you frownin'
are ya smilin'? or are ya drownin'?

I'm at an age where things begin to mean less
witnessin' people around me start to dream less
call it cynicism, call it growin' up
it beats adolescent drinkin' where ya throwin' up
but I think it's makin' me ache when it rains
seemin' like I got another case of growin' pains
never had to analyze what a kiss meant
but since that night, things seem a little different
can't stop thinkin' and she want me to feel
I can't tell what's in my head, tell what's for real
still I try to stay on top of the situation
imagination runnin' like I was a Temptation
reality in theory should be keepin' it at bay
but I'm a little prone to gettin' carried away, so now
baby girl, keep it real with me, I just need you to deal with me
why? because..

I had a little and I like the taste
baby girl, ain't got much time to waste
but I feel a little bit out of place
baby girl, with my hands down on your waist
because I joke a little, but I keep the space
baby girl, never stole a single base
and now you're lookin' me straight in the face
tell me, girl, what's the case?

touch me tender
don't need to say a word this time
this is my september
approach me with an open mind
just touch me tender
don't need to say a word this time
this is my september
approach me with an open mind

so I'm out of place, steppin' out of pace
if she wantin' caps, call me lower case
after I kissed her, I kinda pissed her off
and when I was alone, I kinda missed her
I want to serenade, I wish she would have stayed
emotion revealed, but where's the ocean maid?
got introduced to it, I'm not used to it
now she won't hear me talk, so I produce to it

what I'm tryin'a say is that she worked her way
under my skin, and I just don't know what to say
usually I keep it on the level, keep it mellow
but if she was a bow, man, I'm feelin' like a cello
while I'm thinkin' she and I would make a real nice mixture
interpersonal relations paint a different picture
the slope of my intent is gettin' kinda steep
never sweat sociality, but ties run deep
situation reminiscin' Romeo and Juliet
but where that was a tragedy, I only want a little bit
tell myself "Hair Kid keep it together"
but she pushin' me and pullin' me just like I was a never
I thought I wasn't prone to gettin' bent out of shape
but if she lukewarm water, call me a bathin' ape
so, girl, know you're mad and it ain't ideal
but don't sweat how I feel, girl, it ain't a big deal, 'cause..

I had a little and I like the taste
baby girl, ain't got much time to waste
but I feel a little bit out of place
baby girl, with my hands down on your waist
because I joke a little, but I keep the space
baby girl, never stole a single base
and now you're lookin' me straight in the face
tell me, girl, what's the case?

touch me tender
don't need to say a word this time
this is my september
approach me with an open mind
just touch me tender
don't need to say a word this time
this is my september
approach me with an open mind


through it all, I just can't seem to practice what I preach
so I see the world I want is just beyond my reach
surface tension disregard, it works out in the end
hold me closer, kiss me hard, but be gentle when you touch me tender
