Katie Locke: Music
You Never Had to Try
(Katie Locke)
Verse 1: Preening their feathers, your friends were so clever
Puffing their chests out with each line
But I never noticed, 'cause you stole my focus
Sitting alone with your self-conscious smile
I froze like a hunter, captivated by the prey
Afraid any move might scare you away.
Chorus: You Never Had to Try
With a heart sweet as sparkling wine
No, You Never Had to Try
To make me want you all my life.
Verse 2: The rain falls in sequins on dark squares of pavement
Silvery pools reflecting the night
I hold you against me, explore your mouth gently
The warmth of your body melting with mine
I ask if you love me, though the answer is clear
You whisper it softly in my ear.
Chorus: (repeat)
Bridge: The day's coming soon when you'll have to leave
Don't ask me to stay with you, I'll just repeat.
Chorus: (repeat)
