Make The First Move
March 4 2013
Do you feel lucky? Well do you?
Make the first move
I’ve heard all your talk
Act or talk a walk
Make the first move
Now that we are here, face to face,
Make the first move
We both have opinions
Time to take a stand
Time for you to prove
Prove that you can take me in this fight
So get started- please don’t take all night
I’m giving you your chance
Let’s begin this dance
Make the first move
It isn’t quite as easy as it was when I was clueless
It’s harder to attack when you don’t have a back
Unprotected, unaware
Fool me once- shame on you
Fool me twice- shame on me
This time I know what I should do
So make the first move
Just make the first move
Why are you waiting? I’m ready, let’s get going
Or is it your fear that is showing
Not even a touch?
Yeah I thought as much.
This time
I made the first move.
