Song -- Tess

sometimes i get startled
by the way life sends a shock
whenever i am settled

i was only watching
watching how your lips moved
as you spoke of love and living

then it hit me:
i just wanted to test those lips
and see if they were fit to kiss
soft and pink like ice candy
to see if you too... wanted me.

i never wanted it before
but suddenly everything was clear
sex never seemed an issue
girls and girls they do not mix
but what if they did?

oh if they did, tess
my lips would find your cheek
oh if they did, tess
i'd want to push you over the brink
just to see if you screamed

no no, this is wrong
i cannot think of you that way
you're a friend; a girl
i couldn't ever lead you astray

but you're two years older
and two years more beautiful
are you two years wiser
do you see where i want you to be?

oh if you did, tess
your lips would find my cheek
oh if you did, tess
you'd push me over the brink
...i think i'd scream

oh if you did, tess...

oh if you did, tess...

oh if you did [cresc.]
if you did
if you did
if you did
tess you're yelling words i cannot hear!

oh if i could, tess
i'd push my lips against your skin
oh if i could, tess
i'd make you scream
make you scream
make you scream

...would it make you happy?
