Mystery Man

You make me think too hard,

I'm always on my guard.

Your eyes scare me

Like they would penetrate the deepest sea.

I have to look away,

I have to watch what I say.

When you have a point to make, you make it.

The sound of your angry voice, I almost can't take it.

You poke fun at me, then apologize -

There you go again, doin that thing with your eyes.

In a staredown, I wonder who would win.

Because one of us has to look away, cuz we're laughin again.

I love it when you're talking just to me,

And nobody else can see.

When you get personal, I'm amazed,

It's so strange to hear you talk that way.

You seem so hard, I try not to get too close -

I guess that's the thing I like that bothers me the most.
