Three Little Words

1.
Three little words...
Why are they so hard to say?
Just ask; find out the truth...
But what if he won't stay?
Could you live with yourself
If you drive another one away?

2.
"Is he cute?"
"What is he like?"
They all ask the same questions.
How do I explain a year-long attraction?
How do I say the unsaid?
Should I even try?

3.
I've seen his chest.
Look, but don't touch.
Three words could change all that.
I could touch oh so much.

4.
"Those are signs."
"You should have no doubt."
I can't help but doubt.
Doubt is what I'm all about.
How could something good happen to me?
Even if it did, the joy will be taken away.
I never win at love.

5.
His glowing eyes.
He shows me what he shows few.
Is it just a tease
Before he bids the final adieu?
Look, but don't touch.

6.
Three little words...
So little yet so much.
No one can do it but me.
Only Nixon could go to China.
Destiny? I think not.
Just three little words...
