To Know

If I knew you better, I'd say that you are kind.
Your hands are soft and gentle,
Your arms, warm and strong,
Your eyes, nice and handsome.
I'd let you take my hand, and we would walk awhile.

When I know you better, I'll tell you what a nice smile you have.
Your lips look soft and gentle,
They must be warm and strong.
I'll ask if I can kiss them,
And you'll be much obliged.

Say I grew to know you well enough to open up my hearet.
Your words so soft and gentle,
Your promises warm and strong.
To call me sweet and beautiful
And offer to let me have your heart.

Suppose I told you I loved you
On a night so cool and peaceful,
With the stars gleaming and leaning in
To hear you ask for my hand.
And, like a nice girl, I would consent.

If I knew you better, I'd skip the trite formalities.
I'd pull you by the collar,
Take those luscious lips for mine,
Whisper entrancing, secret phrases,
Give you all that I can afford to give.
If I love you, I won't wait to tell you.
