The Ballroom Thieves – Delia lyrics

I haven't got a way with women
But I wouldn't mind to get away with you
So find some time
Slip between the lines
Let it all, in its own way, fall into view

I've never been crazy about the easy way
Take a tunnel through the mountain
And you miss the lakes

But I'm alright
Not under covers with my eyes shut tight
I'm a first class lover
And I'm coming to your city and state

You might ask, what are you waiting for
And I'd be lying if I didn't tell you
That I'm not not quite sure
You might ask what are you waitin' for
What am I waitin' for
What am I waitin' for

I used to be handcuffed by desire
Yeah, I'd be weaving stories like a Hollywood novelist
I was on the loose
Burnin through the city in my liar shoes
I'd be chasin' after dresses with my double dealin' salesman's kiss

You might ask, what are you waiting for
And I'd be lying if I didn't tell you
That I'm not not quite sure
You might ask what are you waitin' for
What am I waitin' for

Now this old friend becomes an enemy
Who steals from me the fortune that I seek
Well how could anybody
Stumble into lovin' me
When I've told tales of woe since I could speak

You might ask, what are you waitin' for
'Cause there's a whole world out there
Just begging to be explored
I'm alive
Yeah, I've got a life to live
I've got some love to make
Way more love to give
