For a Poet Lyrics by Alma Cook

For a Poet - Single

2014

I'm a wary walker, if you notice;
My feet are ever on the ground
So at the thought that maybe I care for a poet
They altogether shut down
Somebody, tell me I'm breathing;
Oh, I don't know why, but I get so shy
I'm gonna run out of reasons
Not to go on & give you a try. (It's just that you're a…)
Sweet, sweet talker & you flaunt it;
Every color means go
Even if between the red & the green was the blue you wanted
You wouldn't wanna go slow
But I like what I'm hearing
Got your words so moving, your voice so soothing
I don't know what I'm fearing
But I know that I'm afraid of losing you
[Chorus:]
Baby, I understand if you're getting tired
And if I broke you down to the end
'Cause when you set my heart on fire
I just stop-drop-roll it again
You know I'm kind of a fighter;
I fight to keep me the way I been
But you're something I could really admire
No matter how I pretend
I like to think that I'm above my emotions
Calculated & wise
So at the thought of my love for a poet
I wanna cover my eyes
'Cause how am I supposed to focus?
I can't say no when you look so—oh
I'm hard-headed & hopeless
But through it all I want you to know this:
[Chorus]
