Howard Lawrence My True Valentine
When I first found love it was on this screen
Her image caught my eye, —she was dark and lean
We got past the small talk stage just fine
But couldn't get beyond hello unless we hooked up online
Now the tide has shifted she can feel my pain
From our first wet kiss life would never be the same
We lived apart but now I never feel alone
She's got my back in a real way no one's ever shown
My girl knows my highs and lows
While I was gone I nearly seized up and froze
I'm not surprised she's a little scared
Gotta chase her but I don't care
There's not a thing you can do to me
To keep my arms away from her
I'll stay alive until the race is over
Don't disturb my girl while she's deep in thought
She wants to spare her family from the fate mine bought
Before we touched I doubted we could want the same things
There's never been a dull moment since she clipped my wings
My girl's got the world in the palm of her hand
She says I'm going places if I follow her plan
My whole life I never met a woman like her
She taught me how to love and how life works
We'll take it slow
Where we're headed I just don't know
These mysteries will just unfold
Or shut us down from what we were sold
But if she's willing to wait for me
I'm more than willing to wait for her
Sometimes we get what we deserve
