lyrics

Do you think these shy old lyrics are a lie
Well if you don't believe me then don't believe me
But nearly almost every time
That look of a girl's can quite unnerve me

'cause the pursuit is sweet but the rejection's killing
If the spirit is weak but the body is willing

Immerse yourself in me she said
Well an idea like that can go to your head
You will be mine completely mine
Well it's the size of the task that gives me stage fright

'cause the pursuit is sweet but the rejection's killing
When the spirit is weak but the flesh is willing

Unfolding flowers show themselves
But I'm more than willing to stay on the shelf
Where every crease can tell a tale
I'm my own best judge and I won't give me bail

'cause the pursuit is sweet but the rejection's killing
When the spirit is weak but the body is willing

I know

Take me down to lovers lane
I won't ever say those words again

'cause the pursuit is sweet but the rejection's killing
When the spirit is weak but the body is willing

I know I won't
