Emily Hurd: SONGS

Hit me with an offer.
I promise I’ll go softer on you.
Hit me with a question,
And I will give affection to you.
Two can play the game
Of sayin that we came here as friends.
But you’ve gotta give me somethin
Before I let the lovin commence.

And until you do,
I’ll be sifting through
A bunch of photos that are in my mind.
Til I find a very potent one,
Then I’ll be sittin in the sun with you.

Tell me somethin pretty,
And I will leave this city for you.
Tell me somethin caring,
And I’ll do somethin daring for you.
This is only meant to prepare you;
I would not want to scare you away.
But you’ve gotta give me somethin
Before I send my lovin your way.

Meet me there…in your old back yard.
Meet me there…in your stick shift car.
Meet me there…if there’s still a shard
That’s left from all the lovin
When we had next to nothing
But still, we found somethin to do.

Speak to me sincerely,
And I will give you dearly my heart.
Speak to me candidly,
And you will win handedly my heart.
I know words can be deceiving,
But still, some meaning’s gotta get through.
You’ve gotta give me somethin
Before I give my lovin to you.
