Nina Ricci – Designs On Me lyrics

Verse 1
I’m laying on a towel on a snow-white sandy beach
The sun is sinking lower casting light all over me
And the man who’s been my truest friend is shadow puppeting
He’s casting shadows on my form,
He’s making butterflies and leaves,
He’s got designs on me

Verse 2
I must define what I believe that once you’re yolked you never leave
I’m open-eyed, I’m not deceived and I like what I have seen
We’ve traded looks that lock in place that light up in the other’s face
The kind that keep you twined for life,
The ever-loving mystery,
He’s got designs on me
Designs on me

Chorus
Why do lovers carve names in the trees?
Why do love birds return in the spring?
Why sometimes do we run past our dreams?
He’s got designs on me
Designs on me

Verse
I watch the genius of his art, he listens to my chord
He fills balloons with colored paint and pins them on a board
He threw a dart and burst the first, invited me to join, and
And we came out color spurned
And laughing all the while
And I’ve started to believe
He’s got designs on me
Designs on me

Chorus
Why do lovers carve names in the trees?
Why do love birds return in the spring?
Why sometimes do we run past our dreams?
He’s got designs on me
Designs on me

Tag
He’s got designs on me, designs on me
