Week 11 - Nobody Flirts Like Me (190312)

from Song A Week, Volume 4 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Tug at the thread hangin' from the edge
Of the green canvas jacket on my back
Take a breath as she scares me half to death
Pretend I didn't notice where she sat

Better check the tie around my neck
Straight and narrow just like me
Purple hair seems like she don't care
About the rest of Tennessee

For just a moment I turn my head
Watch her walk by like such a tease
Look away just in time before I start to sweat
Nobody flirts like me

Try my best not to make a mess
Drink the coffee in my cup
Clear my throat and wonder where she goes
When she runs outta' luck

Lookin' mean in her black skinny jeans
Daring me to speak
Hope the road takes you where you wanna' go
And I hope it's back to me

For just a moment I turn my head
Watch her walk by like such a tease
Look away just in time before I start to sweat
Nobody flirts like me

I been searching high and low
Been looking for a sign
Of all the buses in all the world
You walked onto mine
