(verse 1) I used to play the game of love. I played the hand I was dealt. Found out that every deck was stacked, an ace hid under the felt. I swore I’d take a long heartbreak hiatus. You’ve never seen somebody less flirtatious. My only kryptonite: a femme fatale vivacious. (verse 2) I’m solo in a crowded bistro, and then the music began. An angel playing on the cello, I’m falling into a trance. The song she played could not surpass her beauty. I can only stare and marvel mutely. I’ve come undone as one adoring groupie. (chorus 1) Danger! I’ve fallen for a perfect stranger. Can’t keep my wits about me. Rockslide! I’ve lost control, a lunar joy ride. All set to vow devoutly. (verse 3) I gotta get a grip, I’m tripping down that slippery slope again. Can I cease and desist, resist her charm, alarms are blaring, but then, I’m walking toward her drawn by her luminescence. Fumbling over how to ask one question: “I’m new to cello. Do you give private lessons?” (chorus 2) Outside, you may not know my mind is cross-eyed. She’s everything and more. Inside, I’m going on a lunar joy ride. It’s time to go explore.
