Analysis of Tattoo, +in your eyes
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
i am so, mad about you
Whatever it is you have going for you
There is is something certainly special about you
Does magical things to me like no other can do
Drawing me closer with a familiar ring
Bringing a renewed sense,
a kind of alternate reality
a positive attraction that underlies
The truth in us as elemental beings,
i feel it in all our many interactions
not just your style and your grace
You give me a sense of satisfaction
i have never felt before.
When another man approaches you
i am ready for war
It’s in your smile, even in the many looks that
Come across your face.
No doubt about it, it’s in your walk
the way you talk How you roll your eyes’
Things you do to me, whenever we make love
i feel i always have a way with you
We can talk about anything.
Once, i had a taste of you
it made me forget everything
i ever knew about,
anything else, but you.
You’ve got my attention
In time and in life
give me a loving, so baad
It put me under your spell,
with an ecstasy
It is almost as if
i wear a permanent smile,
Tattooed on my face
You’ve got me worked up so
i can’t forget that very first taste
not to mention the way you randomly
hit me every day
with those, little happy surprises
You do it so well, naturally
even when you get mad as hell
it’s in your everything.
If you were to act
Like a bitch, no doubt-the queen
if you know What i mean.
A compilation of all of the best
Things about a woman that i ever wanted to see
Coming together between you and me
Maybe it’s just emotional tides
your oceans of love churning
got me running for cover.
Please, don’t you ever stop
what you are doing to me
i am a hotcake fresh, off your gridle
A steak on your grill
Sometimes i feel like when we fight,
We could battle for days,
but i never will
i would rather give in to you
more often than not
When i am away from you,
dreaming of making love
Kissing you. i can’t even sleep at night,
bad as i am missing you
Thinking of you, constantly
i always need a fix,
another shot just like a junkie
i need to feel you close to me,
burning in my blood
Until the ice water in my veins
turns lava hot
You’ve got my world endlessly turning,
i can feel it All around you and me
Washing away all traces of misery i have ever felt,
got me so hot You’ve started global warming
Even the polar icecaps in me
have begun to melt
In tides of intimate mystery
returning to me with joy
And even so, baby i am just like a fish in your sea
You’ve got me hooked Hard as i may try to fight it
i
have strong will, somehow you are taking control
Almost beyond belief, remember you heard it from me
Maybe so, it’s a quality of your compassion,
which is affecting me so effectively,
i want to scream, aloud, i love you, baby
Each time you call, whenever we meet
you set in motion such powerful chain reactions in me,
it gets me so worked up i cry,
Sometimes, i cannot even sleep
Awakening within me, a sense of devotion,
making you hit the jackpot
With me every time
i surrender, you win
Again and again,
You are running a streak
that never seems to end
i can’t seem to stop you
from pulling the trigger to my emotions,
you keep setting me off
You’ve sprung the trapdoor to my heart
and started it afire
when ten thousand angels
Could not even dream
to create the spark in my heart felt desire
the way you keep taking me higher,
Making me feel so inspired
Things will never be the same again,
i’m done wasting time, playing foolish games.
You have achieved this miracle so effortlessly,
i tip my hat for you. You have the means,
whenever we get together
you Get me all steamed up You churn my milk
and turn it all to cream. You work me up so easily
With a majesty many have sought few can attain
To be without your loving presence is Hell
Whatever it is that destiny holds
For me and you
One thing holds true
i can never, seem to be
Able to
Get enough
Of you
