Tempest of emotions

Her

If I didn't know better;
I would follow my heart
Let it lead me into your den of passion
Where you promise an avalanche of love

If I didn't know better;
I would sprawl in your lavish bed
And let you drink me in
Until I'm high on you

Him

                                   So what are you saying?                 That you don't want to be with me?
You have potential lovers lying in waiting...
But baby, you are right here with me

And I can see you tremble
As you drink me in
Savouring the pheromones we give off into the air,
....thick with more than sexual tension

Her 

Stop saying all those sweet things

And reading my heart like it is an open door

Why do I keep drinking you in?

Wasting my time on you?

If I didn't know better,

But dammit I do,

Been down this path before

And back with pieces of my heart breathing in my hands

Him

 

So what are you saying?

When you are the one pulling the strings like the puppet master

I don't like it any more than you do

But baby, don't put all the blame on me

Why do I keep my eye on you?

Running back into your bosom like I'm programmed by a force of nature

Because when you keep drinking me in

Baby, I get lost in you!

Both 

So why do I keep drinking you in?

Wasting my time with you?

If I didn't know better

I'd think I'm in love with you!

Her 

I'm not gonna trade my best days
So you can validate all your fears to me
Because honey, this is love
We all get scared

I'll take time with you
Just to have you stop and start listening to your heart
This love isn't going anywhere
If all we do is rush through the emotions


Him 

If I didn't know better
I would think we are wrong for each other and bolt
Sometimes good intentions don't come across so well
So I wait

You are in so deep
And you don't even know it
Because when I look into your heart
There is so much depth
That's why I stay

Her 

Your smile is all I talk about

When you leave it keeps me aglow

Why do you leave when you can make my world?

Because there is no us... without you

You are the “u” in “us”

Him 

Then why are you always out there looking for something

Aren't you satisfied with me?

Why don't you get off your high heels...

Come level with me?

Her 

Why would you think you are not for me?

That I am not satisfied?

When you set a can of butterflies open in my stomach each time we kiss

Oh, the ache! Deeply rooted! 

Him 

You live in my head

And you can tell this when you look into my eyes

There are no tricks I can try on you,

It's all in my eyes... my eyes when I look upon you

Her 

If you were the earth

And I was the rain

I would pour myself out

Soak you wet

Until I fade into you

Him 

If I were the sun

Like the sun in your eyes

I would rise every morning

To start off your day

And wait til the evening so I can fade into you

Her 

I'm a girl, I can get someone to buy me a drink by wearing five inch heels

But I don’t want a drink for the moment

I want a waterfall that keeps giving

Because this here heart cannot beat without affection

Him 

If I didn't know better

But dammit, I know

I hunger for you;

You fiery and forbidden tempest
