Hear Me Out

Please hear what I have got to say

I swear this won't take long

I've overheard a couple things

Please tell me if they're wrong

I heard that you were once let down

By a woman that had your heart

And since that time you've been aloof

And that is just the start

I don't mean to waken ghosts

I know still haunt your brain

I just want to let you know

I understand your pain

I, myself, have been through hell

My heart has tagged along

I've had my share of lies and pain

And I've been treated wrong

I'm not ready for the altar yet

I don't want to settle down

But if you let me take a little time

I can help you not to frown

I can remind you what it's like

To have a hand to hold

To have a worthy confidant

To be held when you're cold

To have someone that makes you feel

As though you walk on air

All I want are these few things

And kisses here and there
