[Title: My Kind of Make-Believe] [Spoken Intro - Female] Let's pretend we haven't met. You're sitting at the end of the bar. I walk over... And this time, I buy you the drink. [Verse 1] "Is this seat taken?" That's my opening line You look up slowly, say, "It is if you don't mind" I set my little silver bag beside your sleeve Tell you that you've got a face I'd like to read You say, "What brings a woman like you here?" I say, "A certain kind of atmosphere Where I can try a little more confidence on And take my time deciding where I belong" [Pre-Chorus] Follow where I take the story Tell me what you'd like to add If we lose our place from laughing We can start the scene again [Chorus] This is my kind of make-believe A little mystery I get to lead Your voice down low, your eyes on me Nothing moving faster than we agree Let the midnight give us room To try a different point of view I like the way you play this scene This is my kind of make-believe [Verse 2] Maybe I'm the countess with a dance to spare Maybe you're the stranger who was waiting there Maybe I invite you to the balcony And ask what kind of evening you imagined with me You say, "I hadn't planned beyond this song" I say, "That's fine, we can bring the music along" Hum that little melody against the autumn air I'll rest my hand inside your hand and leave it there [Bridge - Spoken into Melody] If I say, "Wait"... [We wait] If I say, "Stay"... [I'll stay] And when I lean a little nearer You can ask me what I'd like I might tell you with a whisper I might look you in the eyes [Final Chorus] This is my kind of make-believe A little mystery I get to lead Your voice down low, your eyes on me Nothing moving faster than we agree Let the midnight give us room To try a different point of view I like the way you play this scene This is my kind of make-believe [Spoken Outro - Female] You know... For two people who just met, We're getting along beautifully.
