A MARTYR FOR MY LOVE FOR YOU She was sixteen And six feet all In a crow of teenagers Coming out of the zoo She stumbled Stared to slip and fall Teeter totterd on the top Of patent leather shoes I happen to catch her and said Maybe these ruby shoes are A little cumbersome for you Maybe for you , now But not as shaky As I mustve seemed Talking junk through her Giggle little teenage dream And on the phone I could not compete My dumb luck Fake confidence Was getting weak And for a sec I thougt I sounded sweet But sure enough In a gruff faint voice I heard myself.... (CORO) I could stay awhile But sooner or later ill break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days Im bound to choke And we might start to kiss But I feel like I cant go Through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing For me to do Is to leave you alone. Im begining to like you So you probably wont get What Im going to do Im walking away from you It probably dont make No sense to you But Im trying to save you From all of the things that ill probably say or do ill probably do,now. (CORO) I could stay awhile But sooner or later ill break your smile And I can tell a joke But one of these days Im bound to choke And we might start to kiss But I feel like I cant go Through with this And I bet we could build a home But I know the right thing For me to do Is to leave you alone
