Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It was a hot steamy night
I was drinking on my own
Just me and my guitar
The bar was empty
Except for the regular few
Then along came you
[Verse 2]
Well, that sounds familiar
Uh uh, it's early days, unfinished tune, y'know how it is
Going nowhere up until now
I was dickin’ around
Trying something new
Then along came you
[Chorus]
You track me like a lover breathing down my neck
Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat
You’re so serene and now I’m the living wreck
The melody is hot and the message so sweet
[Bridge]
Sweet and spicy
It’s feeling good man, it has that golden ring
That, that’ll do nicely, something I can sing
I can get it down with this old fangled thing
[Verse 3]
Why does your eraser have a handle so long?
It’s for the lead in my pencil man, I got to keep it sharp
Knock it into shape, I can’t go wrong
But even then, when I'm done, here comes another part
[Chorus]
You track me like a lover breathing down my neck, yeah
Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat
You're so serene and now I'm a living wreck
The melody is hot and the message so sweet
