Reciprocal Feelings - Tracy Bonham

I’D LIKE TO BE MY OWN BEST FRIEND

TURNS OUT THERE’S NO RECIPROCAL FEELINGS

WHAT A TOTAL SNOB, HOO HOO HOO HOO

SOMETIMES I WRITE HER LETTERS

AND I’VE SEEN HER HANDS

AND I KNOW THEY’RE NOT BROKEN

SO COME ON WOULD IT KILL YA?

TO WRITE A DAMN LETTER?

SO I LET IT SLIDE

DAY TO DAY REJECTION

STILL I CAN’T ERASE

FEELINGS THAT WE’RE CLOSE

WE’RE VERY CLOSE

CORNERED HER IN THE GIRL’S ROOM

SAID «HEY, YOU’RE NOT SO TOUGH.

NOW GIVE ME SOME LOVIN»

THAT’S NO WAY TO GO NOW, NOT A WAY TO ACT NOW, NOT A WAY TO GO DOWN

THEN I HEARD HER SING

LOVE IS ALL AROUND YOU

AND THE GREATEST LOVE

SOMEWHERE HERE RESIDES

HERE IT RESIDES…

AUGUST SUN IS HANGING LOW SCHAAP IS ON THE RADIO

AND A LOVE COMES OVER ME

TWISTED LIPS AS CHARLIE SWINGS NOTES FLY OUT AS IF ON WINGS THIS IS HOW WE WANT

TO BE

BREAK THE LIMIT IN MY AMC HORNET CUDDLE NECKING ALL ALONG THE WAY DRIVE UP TO

READING TO THE SEVEN FEATHERS BETTING

MERLE AND BIFF WILL SHOW US HOW TO PLAY

TAKE ME IN YOUR BEADS OF BLUE ALL THE MISFIRES LEAD TO YOU

ONCE THE BATTLE WOUNDS WERE CLEAN

LOVE IS SIMPLE LOVE IS FREE DOESN’T HAVE TO TWIST AND BLEED BABY YOU UNTANGLE ME
