Lyrics

Now hold on, man, don’t go rushing in to things
That’s what I was telling myself
Slow down, brother, heed your own warnings
Seems you just can’t help yourself

She was staring right through me with those chocolate drop eyes
Peeling back the layers of my very thin disguise ‘til I was right where I needed to be
In the open, in the open
Nothing left to hide behind

I was building walls, locking doors and throwing away the keys
Just like we all do
But when she start coming ‘round, she said “You’d better find those keys
Or you’ll never have me like you want to.”

She was staring right through me with those chocolate drop eyes
Peeling back the layers of my very thin disguise ‘til I was right where I needed to be
In the open, in the open
Nothing left to hide behind
