If I whisper into your ear
If I think out loud
If I make it clear
Would that be alright?
If I offer to take you out
We could take a ride
Til' the moon comes out
Would you say alright?
If I speak to you honestly
If I say I miss you before you leave
Would you stay the night
Am I kidding myself
I get hazy when you're around

I can't read the signs you know
I was never so good at playing this game
Took me long enough to ask your name
Woman I don't know
Do you feel the same do you understand?
I just need a sign you know
I've been hoping and praying for someone like you
I don't what I'm saying or what I should do
I don't know
I'd give anything to hold your hand
But you'd have to tell me where I stand

When I asked if you'd like to meet
I felt tongue tied with two left feet
And that's not like me
Taken by surprise that you'd walk with me
Could have sworn that even the autumn leaves were falling at your feet
Woah, I'm a fool with my dreaming eyes
Wishing I was better at reading signs, will she stay for life
When you lean in close and you touch my hand
And I smile at you like I understand, did I get that right?

I can't read the signs you know
I was never so good at playing this game
Took me long enough to ask your name
Woman I don't know
Do you feel the same do you understand?
I just need a sign you know
I've been hoping and praying for someone like you
I don't what I'm saying or what I should do
I don't know
I'd give anything to hold your hand
But you'd have to tell me where I stand

I have trouble following the signs you know
Why've I got to read between the lines it's so
Complicated I feel like I'll never know
What's really going on in your heart
I have trouble following the signs you know
Why've I got to read between the lines it's so
Complicated I feel like I'll never know
What's really going on in your heart

I can't read the signs you know
I was never too good at playing this game
Took me long enough to ask your name
Woman I don't know
I can't read the signs you know
I was never so good at playing this game
Took me long enough to ask your name
Woman I don't know
Do you feel the same do you understand?
I just need a sign you know
I've been hoping and praying for someone like you
I don't what I'm saying or what I should do
I don't know
I'd give anything to hold your hand
But you'd have to tell me where I stand
