David Wax Museum - Leopard Girl lyrics

I want you to paint me Pick up your easel and your brush I'm not well-versed in art But I know this much You'll paint me holding something Maybe a rose or a rosary You'll bring out the d**h in my face Or show me younger than you know me to be Chorus I want to know how I look through your eyes You're not a mirror so there are things that I can hide They say don't trust lovers who kiss kiss kiss with eyes open wide Their words and the truth do everything but collide I once heard of the Leopard Girl Marked by the leopard in her mother's womb When she was younger They kept her locked in the storage room But when she came of age And went out in the world Some people saw a leopard Others saw a beautiful girl Chorus They say don't trust lovers who fail to recognize you from a distance They should know you better than to need visual a**istance I want to unburden myself to you Loosen up my tongue Then look at you like a dog to his master Waiting for the branch to be flung ‘Cause you've got thermostat hands That run up and down my spine You give me a radiator fever When you draw the blinds Chorus They say don't trust lovers infatuated with your divineness Being in love is just one step removed from bli-bli-bli-blindness
