How Dare You

How dare you
I said over and over earlier tonight
It was to buy me time
I didn’t know what to do

How did you know
Was it something I said
Some little sign
What did I show

You were never this sure
All these years before
When did you learn
That I wasn’t that pure

How dare you try this
Given who I am
Waiting till late
It wasn't just a kiss

Not now that you're grown
out of college and a man
having all your fun
out roaming on your own

What did you see
To be so bold
To go ahead and try
To be that way with me

did you not see my lines
did you just see blonde curls
was my blouse too tight this time
I'm not like the fine wines

Of course your move was bad
No need to ask
Don’t act surprised
Why didn’t you think I’d tell your dad

Then to try again
I can’t understand
Again so bold
Worse than you’d ever been

But why wouldn’t you believe
Somehow it was okay
That maybe there was a way
After all I didn’t leave

What you did was a taunt
Knowing full well
I was flustered and embarrassed
You having learned what I want

I’m leaving this here
Knowing you’ll read
My secret released
Despite all my fear

Because I’ll be there again tonight
The kitchen so quiet
When you’ll have me alone
And there’ll be no true fight

Why am I telling you this
Showing my hand
Letting it be plain
Like I don’t want you to miss

Maybe you touched something deep
Something so raw
Something so needy
That I won’t make a peep

This is how I show
To keep you so bold
To get you there again
To make sure you know

Don’t listen tonight when I rant
No matter how I may bitch
Just know that deep inside
There’s no way I can’t

That’s right
Congratulations young man
You found me out well
I won’t really even put up a fight

You know my secret now
In the morning I’ll hate it
Want to deny it like hell
But these words tonight are like my vow

My promise for your try
If you’re there once more
And again so strong
then I’m not gonna lie

In the end I guess you’ll see
No matter how things should be
No matter what I should say
No matter how it sounds, that you can have even me

Was that what it’s about
All the wins you’ve taken and had
All the hearts you’ve broken
Now you want the biggest rout?

Well, guess what my love
Here’s the answer you seek
It’s the worst thing we could do
Letting you succeed and be above

Above all the rules
The things you shouldn’t have
You’ll get this anyway
it won't take dining or jewels

They don’t see what I see
The light in your eyes
Your hand sure on my hip
The hidden way you affect me

I’ll stop right here
Already saying too much
Tomorrow this will be so stupid
But you know, it’ll still be clear

You probably didn’t need this cue
Already smart and aware
You figured me out, yes you did
Getting me around to somehow wanting you

Yeah, there I said it
Couldn’t help myself
Wanted to make sure you knew it
Even for when I pitch my fit

Don’t listen to me tomorrow night
I’ll curse and I’ll shame
but don't believe me after all
when I put up my little fight

So even if I get weepy
And act so damn hurt
Don’t think for even one second
That I don’t want you in me.
