Let's Stop Here

You know that I would love it, it would be such a thrill to kiss new lips
To stop and pause for breath, to sigh then pull you closer by the hips
To squeeze a fist of hair, to slide my fingers underneath your dress
To solve a teenage mystery, to know what I could only ever guess
But you’ve been gone for years and I’ve fallen in love since you left town
I’m happy, I am spoken for, attached, under the thumb; I’ve settled down
Then you turn up to tempt me, older, wiser, sexier and free
And you know what I’m like, or at least you know the way I used to be
Now I’m not saying that I’ve changed, I’m not entirely sure I even can
The old me’s still inside; the same mind, same heart, same soul,
I’m the same man
It’s the same arms wrapped around you, the same lips and the same tongue beside
your ear
And they know they might regret it as they whisper these three words:
Let’s stop here…
