Beat the Clock - Right Poetry
I never seem to run out of words to sayI'd talk and talk until you'd run away
But then again I saw that pretty angel in the corner
She's gonna walk across the room again
Should be some kind of law against moving like that
What's a boy to do (I'm asking you)
What to say to you
I'll tell you what to say
Don't know know what the books all say
Got to have the rap
The Right Poetry
(Don't you know I talked to the girl I got lost in the third word)
Find the words that will make you mine
With a killer rhyme
You Write Poetry
The rap's all gone today
I wouldn't go near the door until she'd gone
Spend my time here all alone
Except the three that talked to me
Guess they got the right poetry
I'm lost for words
Talking shit, talking trash
Don't talk the truth
Don't talk to last
What's a boy to do (I'm asking you)
What to say to you
I'll tell you what to say
Don't know know what the books all say
Got to have the rap
The Right Poetry
(Don't you know I looked at the girl and I said uh)
Find the words that will make you mine
With a killer rhyme
You Write Poetry
The rap's all gone today
He says he's never felt this kind of fear before
She looks across the room and turns away
She says she saw him looking so she stood and waited there
He was on his way and struggling for a phrase
He knows there's got to be a thousand ways to say hello
There isn't one of them that's guaranteed
He'll stall around another moment and she'll turn away
Please
I got it all worked out now
I'll ask her to dance with me
Making love without the aid of prose and verse
Just sensuality
So much for those words
You know it's all a lie
But you've got something in your eye
And it makes me think
It says to me
What's a boy to do
What to say to you
I'll tell you what to say
Don't know know what the books all say
Got to have the rap
The Right Poetry
(Don't you know I looked at the girl and just about lost my mind today)
Find the words that will make you mine
With a killer rhyme
You Write Poetry
The rap's all gone today
What's a boy to do (What to say to you)
