Win You Over

I’m staring at the ceiling absorbed in the thought of you
You don’t know what I’m feeling
I don’t know what I ought to do
I can never tell you, you can never know
That I’m dreaming about your slow French kisses
I feel it way down to my toes

Honey, I’d do anything to win you over
I’m crying in the dark like a child
‘Cause I’m trying to wake the angel on my shoulder
Who’s gonna help me steal your heart and make you mine

I’m dreaming about you whispering, “I’ll never leave you.”
And I can feel your hands touching my skin
I’m saying, “I believe you.”
And you’re holding me like something lost and found
You’re touching me deep inside
The warm wind of your breath on my neck
Then I wake up cold and crying

Honey, I’d do anything to win you over
I’m crying in the dark like a child
‘Cause I’m trying to wake the angel on my shoulder
Who’s gonna help me steal your heart and make you mine

And I’m praying there’s somebody out there just for me
Somebody strong and happy who will
Fall in love with me
Somebody fine, to take my mind from
The one that’s been taken
I have so much unclaimed love to give
It leaves my mind and my body aching

I’m staring at the ceiling absorbed in the thought of you
You don’t know what I’m feeling
I don’t know what I ought to do
I wish that I could tell you, I wish that you could no
That my hands are shaking, my body’s aching
Just thinking about your love

Honey, I’d do anything to win you over
I’m crying in the dark like a child
‘Cause I’m trying to wake the angel on my shoulder
Who’s gonna help me steal your heart and make you mine
