Smooth Talker

[Verse 1] I saw her standing by the bar, Shining like a midnight star. Leather boots and cherry lips, My heart did thirty backflips. I took a breath, I struck a pose, Fixed my hair, adjusted clothes. I walked on over feelin’ brave... Then my mouth began to misbehave. [Chorus] Ssssmooth talker, I am not, Every word I’ve got is tttied in a knot. She looked at me and smiled so wide, While my brain and mouth just cccollide. Oh no, not again... [Verse 2] She said, “Hey there, what’s your name?” I tried to speak but it never came. I cleared my throat, gave it a go: “Hhhi, I’m JJJoe…” [Verse 3] She said “Joe? That’s cute.” “Yyyou're cccc” She said “Confused?” “Ccccc crazy beautiful!” She laughs “Well, you’re adorable.” [Chorus] Ssssmooth talker, I pretend, But my tongue just wants to bend. My mind says “cool,” my mouth says “why,” Guess I’ll flirt with a stststutterin’ hi! [Bridge] I don’t need slick words or charm, I got awkward as my lucky arm. And maybe she don’t mind the glitch, 'Cause she laughed and gave my hand a twitch! [Final Chorus] Ssssmooth talker? Nah, not quite, But she stuck around all night. Maybe being real’s the secret move— Even if you can’t sssssmoothly groove.
