The Proposal

I love you like a flower loves a bee,
Come pollinate me.
And just like the birds up in the trees,
I melt into honey when you sing to me.
And when I look at you I’m 16 again,
It’s like I’ve only just discovered men.
I giggle and play with my hair,
When you look at me with that brooding stare.
You’ve traveled all over the world,
I sometimes wonder if you’ve found yourself a girl.
Maybe you’d like the girls round here.
I think you’d like it sound here so,
Come and visit me in Belfast,
If you come once I know you’ll come twice,
I don’t have to be your girlfriend,
Just to know how to make you feel nice.
And if you came to visit we’d sit by the river,
And get ourselves into a drunken stuper,
And maybe we would go to a bar I sometime visit,
Maybe it would go a little like this.
Black velvet to loosen your nerves,
Whisky mac to get you saying those words,
A Baileys on ice to round of the night,
And all that’s left is to head back to mine.
