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
