I Got You

I see you sitting across from me,
with all your confidence and bravado
poking fun at me and making me
feel quite stupid for the dumb
stuff I said about you. I watch you
as you pull your head back and
stroke your neck, and then you look at
me sideways cocking your head
You think I don't know what's in
your mind and you think you have
me fooled that you're not that into me
as you casually laugh and then stare
at me as if you could see right through..

When you walk into the room, you
look around to see whose
watching you saunter over but you never
catch me looking at you as you try to find
me first but don't want me to know because
you don't want anyone to know... yet how
is it that everyday, you look for me and
wait for me, and measure my every step
as I approach you only to give me
that big welcoming smile...and then walk
away... pretending not to see

You just keep on pretending honey
and you keep playing your games
I'll keep on walking and talking your
same old same old same... because
you hide it well my friend, but I
see straight through you...
You trying to tease me about this boy
and that guy don't think I don't know
you just want me to say how
I'm head over heels for you

And every day, when we see each other
you wait for me while pretending to be
interested in something else when all
you really want is to get near me. I know
 how much you want me
to be alone with me, to casually
adore me while making no commitments
on your part because you don't want
me to know that you can't stop yourself....

I already know all this as you sit there
across from me, making faces and
judging what I say, all cocky and
resolute. Thinking that your flattering me
with your meer presence. Thinking that I don't
know the fact that you got it bad
baby and after putting me through all
this, if you think  I'm going to let you
down easily, you got a lot more thinking
to do...


You must understand, the way this
works, you so busy over there avoiding
me, but looking for me, running towards
me, yet running away. You must think
I'm crazy that I don't see you falling
every minute of every day...  You
must think I'm lost and all alone, well
baby I got you, I got you good. And
I'm the only one who knows..

One of these days, I'll catch you
off guard, when you're trying so hard to
look away, only I'm going to surprise you with
something you never thought I'd do
and then we'll see what happens.
 You think you got me fooled,
but the only one you're foolin' is you...
because I got you babe, I got your
heart right here and there's no way I'm letting
go...

I see you sitting there, so strong and sweet
when I look into your eyes, I see how
much you care... you may think you have me
and maybe you do, but I know I got you,
I got you too. We pretend every day
and I kind of  like that too. But there's no
one for me other then you.

You and me
playing this game, learning so much about you
and you learning too...
I see you watchin' me, making me
feel so good. I see you and
I know it's for real...just as long as I got you
I know we'll be okay because
it's not just this and that
it's so much more and I
all I know is
I love you....
and I got you good.
