Where Do I Stand?
I have no idea how long you can stay,
I always do fear;
I'm starting to think of you too frequently,
You're becoming someone so dear.
How can I be certain that you're serious w/ me?
That your love is true?
Can you give me any assurance?
Something that I can hold on to.
Right now, I'm starting to feel,
A feeling so mushy and light;
I can't get you out of my head,
You're all I think of every day and every night.
You made it way too easy for me
To fall in love with you;
But how am I to know,
That your feelings are true?
Please, please do something,
Te ease my troubled heart;
I am an intelligent woman, but when it comes to this,
I'm afraid I'm not so smart.
So if you're just looking for a pastime
And chose me to play the part;
Please, I beg you, spare me the pain
Because I have a very weak heart.
If you don't like me that way I like you
Please don't act as if you do;
Cause I might really lose myself,
If you turn out to be fake and untrue.
