Now I’m acting
a little bit crazy
as the world all around
becomes so hazy
Treats upon my mind
play with my time
and I can’t say
no words to rhyme
Baby looks at me
butterfly of lashes
I can see clear
in between the flashes
Calling out to you
It’s all I can do
shouting for attention
cause all that I need is you
Oh this play of life
runs through the scenes
tickles my thoughts
rips at the seams
Taking me so far away
into a dreamers dream
another lonely time
it makes me want to scream
Baby looks at me
butterfly of lashes
I can see clear
in between the flashes
Calling out to you
It’s all I can do
shouting for attention
cause all that I need is you
I fall into you
catch me in your arms
take me in your charms
just do what you do
Don’t ever let go
hold what is true
don’t play on my mind
and don’t make me blue
Baby looks at me
butterfly of lashes
I can see clear
in between the flashes
Calling out to you
It’s all I can do
shouting for attention
cause all that I need is you
