Alma Cook - For a Poet lyrics

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]
