Story behind the song
Hasn't it happened to all of us at one time or another? You see that certain "look" in someone's eyes. You ask yourself, "Was that what I think it was?"
This song captures that wave of trepidation that washes over us as we're trying to decide if we're prepared to jump back in with both feet.
Lyrics
Please!
Please! Don’t look at me that way
unless you plan to pay
the price for being nice
to someone who could fall in love with…
You were laughing at my quips.
So now I want your lips
to touch my lips in such
a way as to convince my heart that…
I was caught quite by surprise.
When I looked in your eyes
I knew not what to do
and words no longer were my loyal…
Friends can’t seem to comprehend
what makes me want to spend
my time inventing rhyme for one
who may not understand my…
Life has got an empty space.
But you can take its place
in part. Fill up my heart
with kisses that remind me of a…
Time relentlessly goes by.
I’m not so sure that I
can wait for reckless fate
to save me on my knees I’m asking…
Please! Don’t look at me that way!
