She was 16 and 6 feet tall In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo. She stumbles down to slip and fall Teeter tottered on the top of patent leather shoes. I happened to catch her and said, "Maybe these ruby shoes are alittle cumbersome for you, maybe for you now." But not as shaky as I must have seemed, Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream. And on the phone I could not compete My dumb-love fake competence was getting weak. For a sec' I thought I sounded sweet, but sure 'nough in a gruff, faint voice I heard myself speak (Chorus) I could stay a while But sooner or later I'll break your smile. And I can tell a joke But one of these days I'm bound to choke. And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can't go through with this. And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone. Leave you alone, now. I'm beginning to like you So you probably won't get what I'm going to do. I'm walkin' away from you. It probably don't make much sense to you. But I'm trying to save you From all of the things that I'll probably say or do. (Chorus) I could stay a while But sooner or later I'll break your smile. And I can tell a joke But one of these days I'm bound to choke. And we could share a kiss But I feel like I can't go through with this. And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing for me to do Is to leave you alone. Leave you alone, now. You'll probably call me a fool And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do. And I'm beginning to like you It's a shame what a lame way to live, But what can I do? I hope you appreciate what I do. I'm a martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you, now A martyr for my love for you A martyr for my love for you |
