Getting Girls To Play

Could I be so bold as to say I like what I see?
And I 'd like to get to know you and you me
I must be getting old cause I've forgotten what to say
I'm a little out of practice on getting girls to play

I hope you won't mind if I slip this in your jacket
Do you think I'm out of bounds and I should forget it?
What would your answer be if I asked you out right now
And told you that I want you? I just wish that I knew how

I will write it secretly so I'm not anywhere around
But I hope I don't find it later, crumpled on the ground
You've got class enough to turn my world upside down
Now I'm hoping for it all and that you won't turn me down

I'm looking for a girl that's not hunting for just money
Cause I want a real woman that produces real honey
It's so hard to find one that's not been overused
Or that isn't still hurting cause her love has been abused

I really don't want someone who's bouncing back off the rebound
I'm always a bit weary about where that love is bound
I may be very shy but I'm no ones easy prey
I'm just simply out of practice on getting girls to play
