Look But Don't Touch

(Dusted this old one from the 90's attic...")

you've got a face like an angel 
built like a Nubian queen
your pair of eyes shine the brightest 
like no one else's I’ve seen
we've been together for a long while 
and I just can’t understand
why you won't let me get close enough 
to even touch your hand

I know this is the nineties 
and things ain't what they were before
you've got me praying and wishing
for some hugging and kissing
I wanna get close to you
but what else can I do?

but then you tell me
you can look but don't touch
but if you ask me
I say you're asking too much...
you tell me
you can look but don't touch
but if you ask me
I say you're asking too much

oh, the things that you wear 
not a wrinkle can I find
and at night in your teddy 
you keep on blowing my mind
and when we go to house parties 
and the slow music starts to play
I try to get you on the dance 
floor but you just push me away

how more can I convince you 
that my love for you is real
it's so frustrating to me
I can't get close to your body
I wanna nibble on your ear
but you won't let me get near
 
you just tell me
you can look but don't touch
but if you ask me
I say you're asking too much
you tell me
you can look but don't touch
but if you ask me
I say you're asking too much

everybody wants to have you 
but every night you're sleeping in my bed
and when I reach for you in the night 
you're always turning your head
is there something that I’m guilty of? 
if so, please tell me the crime
you punish me consistently 
I feel like I’m serving jail time

you know that I’m full of good intentions
I’ve got no one else on the side
but I’m slowly going crazy
girl, you truly amaze me
the way you do me wrong
you know this just can't go on

again, you tell me
you can look but don't touch
but if you ask me
I say you're asking too much
