Do You Proud

What happened Did you change your mind Or am I just calling at a bad time I hope so I would hate to think My desire is a crime I've finally gotten up the nerve To think of you in no uncertain terms You're the one who usually needs his fire put out I just wanted to do you proud I'm tired and it's been awhile Since I went on leave I feel I've been pounding the pavement For work that I don't need I've finally gotten up the nerve To think of you in no uncertain terms You're the one who usually needs his fire put out I just wanted to do you proud Just when you think you've arrived at that beautiful point Where what you want and how they want you meet Something gets lost in the translation And you back, and you are back out on the street I want you and I told you so That's the sort of thing you'd say Arousal is a silent thing It's the things you sort of say I've finally gotten up the nerve To think of you in no uncertain terms You're the one who usually needs his fire put out I just wanted to do you proud
