Getting Under Your Skin
He flirts with words and places his smilies
Wouldn't hurt anyone being so loving
Genuine, of course, kind and caring
Values friendship and trust - who's doubting?
He says he's missed out on life by being too nice
Not facing reality being so painfully shy
He's so vulnerable, cute and polite
Catching up is what he's desperately needing
Don't we all - and I feel for him
Relating to my own regrets - and I fall for him
Gazing at his varnished pic
Letting his flattering phrases seep in
Oh I know he's so damn smooth and charming
And I'm aware he's seducing
But as soon as he knows he's got under my skin
He sends his IMs to another thrill.
