Ashley Wool - You Got Me There Lyrics

You should have seen me half an hour before you came
Thought you might forget to come, I was thinking irrationally
You should have seen me a year ago that night
Singing the distant dream of what I never thought would be
The place was air-conditioned, I kept my cool with moderate success
Should've been easy to wear my heart under my sleeve; too bad I wore a sleeveless dress, well

Nobody taught me how not to hope
A girl can dream but a girl can't cope
Not with this, so I'll resist
And saying this, I insist I
I won't end this night with a one-dimensional kiss
Give in, give in, give in, that's the voice that I'm hearing
Don't think I don't care, but baby you got me there

Now I know there are things I promised not to say
But something in your voice made my cop-outs all run dry
You made me an offer I'll admit I wish I couldn't refuse
Well you could have just allowed me to lie, and I
I could have stolen what I wanted; we could have just pretended it was a dream
But I can't accept a love that will never leave some stranger's limousine

Nobody taught me how not to hope
A girl can dream but a girl can't cope
Not with this, so I'll resist
And saying this, I insist I
I won't end this night with a one-dimensional kiss
Give in, give in, give in, that's the voice that I'm hearing
Don't think I don't care, but baby you got me there

Why would I pass it up? Why would I pass it by? You got me there
Why did you pass me up and then throw me this curveball? You got me there
Why would you change it all for a night-it doesn't work that way
Not for me, but then again I'm new at this game
I'm on the edge of my seat and I'm fighting to get a hold
I gotta spit something out to put off the inevitable
It's incredible I've made it this far 'cause my head is full and now you're raising the bar
Well do you have a clue what the clocks says now?
I've been awake twenty-four hours so I don't see how you're asking of me
To answer rationally
Kid, I'm not driving-duh-we're both in the backseat!
And if I didn't know any better than this
I'd say you were in it too for the kiss!
Nobody taught me how I should deal
A girl can dream, but half of this is real
And if I did take this, and don't resist
It'd be a hit or miss; I won't put you through this
Can't end this night with something one-dimensional
Oh, something unconventional, oh, something untraditional
'Cause it's unintentional, unintentional
Give in, give in, give in, that's the voice that I'm hearing
But can't you see, it's not up to me!
