The Poet

You stole a poem from a book

Made believe that it was yours

You seduced me with those words

(You seduced me)

And I couldn't help but fall

I fell in love with you that night

I let the lyrics speak to me

They cast a spell upon my heart

With their sensuality

The truth is you were faking it

(You were faking it)

That beautiful verse was counterfeit

Caught you doing a de Bergerac

You may be cute, yeah

But I need deeper than that

If writing on paper

Can steal my heart away

Just imagine what his lips

On my body would say

(What would it say?)

If words were kisses

He'd be making love to me

(For real)

Arousing my emotions

(Touch me)

Touching me with poetry

Take my eyes, my heart, my soul

For without thee I'm incomplete, oh-oh

Baby, you were well rehearsed (Yeah)

With your borrowed pick-up lines

Your pretty eyes gave you away

Body language doesn't lie

(The truth is)

The truth is he was faking it

(He was faking it)

He stole my words, he's counterfeit

('Cause I'm the poet)

I'm not doing a de Bergerac

(Believe me girl)

You need to hear me girl

I'm deeper than that

If writing on paper

Can steal my heart away

(Steal your heart away)

Just imagine what his lips

(Just imagine)

On my body would say

(His lips on my body would say)

If words were kisses

He'd be making love to me

(He'd be making love with me)

Arousing my emotions

Touching me with poetry

The wind howls, the earth shakes

The rivers flood, the dam breaks

I gotta hear his voice, I gotta touch his skin

Gonna search the world, 'till I find him

(Thine kiss is unknown to me)

Thine kiss is unknown to me

(Shall there be no reason yet to breathe)

Shall there be no reason yet to breathe

(And if your heart is spoken for)

And if your heart is spoken for

(Condemned am I forever more)

Condemned am I forever more

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

If writing on paper

Can steal my heart away

(Steal my heart away)

Steal your heart away

Just imagine what his lips

On my body would say

(What my lips on your body would say)

(What would it say?)

If words were kisses

He'd be making love to me

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Arousing my emotions

(Your emotions)

Touching me with poetry

If writing on paper

Can steal your heart away

Just imagine what my lips

On your body would say

(What would it say?)

If words were kisses

You'd be making love to me

(Make love)

Arousing my emotions

Touching me with poetry

If writing on paper

Can steal my heart away

(Thine kiss is unknown to me)

Just imagine what his lips

(You know what I say)

On my body would say

(Shall there be no reason yet to breathe)

(And if your heart is spoken for)

If words were kisses

(Condemmed am I forever more)

You'd be making love to me

Arousing my emotions

Touching me with poetry
