Thread Name: Lyr Req: Breathless (Eddie Cherkose, Jacques Press
Subject: RE: Lyr Req:Anyone hear of a song called 'Breathle
Lyrics copied from "Shoeless" Valerie's blog.
I'M BREATHLESS
1. If I had a dictionary,
I would read the customary
Complimentary phrases
When I want to sing your praises,
But I'm up to here in trouble,
My adversity is double,
And, to make the matter worse, I'm breathless.
2. When I try to be poetic,
You are never sympathetic.
As it is, I do my best
And hope and pray I pass the test,
But up to now, I'm in the soup.
My heart is doing the loop-the-loop.
On top of all of that, I'm breathless.
BRIDGE: You take my breath away.
My castles are all in a heap.
You've got me right where you want me.
Baby, you walk in my sleep.
3. So I take you for a little walk,
'Cause I'm a guy who likes to talk.
You leave me on the porch
And then I wind up with a torch
For every single time that I'm inclined
To tell you what is on my mind
I'm darned if I don't find I'm breathless!
