A Guy Like Me

Don't be absurd, don't be too silly. But what's a guy like me to do?

Don't do that, don't get too edgy when all I want is to be with you.

There's something quite magical it's right there in your touch

And I'm feeling myself fragile that I'm wanting it so much.

When we've got to talking and I've got to see you smile

For that I'd go on walking another hundred extra miles.

And the way that you are seeing brings electricity to the air

It's the core of your being makes my heart give such a care

There's so much I could offer, give so much to see it through

If I asked, would you tell me; what's a guy like me to do?

Don't be rash, don't get lost in feelings. But what's a guy like me to do?

Don't charge in, don't be alarming, when all I want is to be with you.

I've been searching for some time to find the woman that you are.

Been hunting for the right rhyme, been looking so near and far.

Caught up in the magic of the everything that’s you

Your effect on me is seismic, and I know this to be true.

It’s something so strong, like nothing since before.

To this I want to belong, for here and ever more.

Want to fill my days, fill my life, fill them up with you

Help me to help you see me; what’s a guy like me to do?

If I told you softly what these things they do to me,

Would you take my hand and tell me just to let them be?

Draw me ever closer, maybe open up your heart?

Find that it could be from me you’d never want to part?

Flowers they will wither and gifts will fade away.

All I have are these words, and what they try to say.

But I will bring you those things, and still keep speaking true.

And I will conquer any mountain just so I can be with you.

Maybe this sounds all too silly, maybe it’s just too absurd?

I know I can be so forthcoming, in my earnest so awkward.

But I knew it from the first time, knew it with our first kiss

There’s not much more I’ve ever wanted; not much more but this.

When it comes right to it, what’s a guy like me to do?

And I just want you to know it; all the love I have for you.

Well, lookie, here; I done wrote me a love song...

Actually this was written, originally, in the hopes, first, of resurrecting an old love affair, but - when it became obvious that I wasn't going to be the one, it became just expressing how I was feeling. Must have been really in there, because I woke up with most of this already in my head.

But, it's also, I think, a really great expression of what a lot of guys probably go through, when they fall for that special girl; the thought processes of the insecurities we go through, and the want to stand out above all the rest. 

So, I give this to every poor guy out there looking for his heart's voice...
