The arts of manly persuasion and sweet negotiation
Are acquired by girls and boys in back seat classes after school
But you broke all those rules the night you introduced me to your quiet love

There have been those who could fake me and some who would shake me
But none of them could move me in the way you seem to do
A gentle schoolgirl swooning in the expectation of your quiet love

How long have we been deceived
While still stubbornly believing in the charm we were afraid did not exist

It may take years of unlearning but now that I'm burning
I know that what they whispered in the dark was not the truth
For I have living proof right here before me in the form of quiet love

How long have we been deceived
Never understanding that we held the key to loving deep within ourselves

It may take years of unlearning but now that I'm burning
I know that what they whispered in the dark was not the truth
For I have living proof right here before me in the form of quiet love
