I never considered myself lucky with men

In fact, I thought I was a freak

Hiding shyly away in my long hems

the guys must have thought me a geek.

Then you walked into the room.

I saw the girls switch on their flirting charms

You were handsome, confident and well-groomed

and I noticed the ripple of strength in your arms.

You walked past them all, headed straight toward me.

Feigning disinterest, I pretended to look away

You sat down and I was afraid you would see

me blushing like a girl gone astray.

Then you spoke, your voice soothing

I immediately felt right at ease

You told me that you had come looting

and will I follow you home if I please?
