I Say Fever

Before she met me she took herself to wait five years After I met her, her teacher said "Best wait five years." I ask my neighbors, they said it's wise to wait five years. I say "Fever." I told a friend how I'm feeling and this made her sad 'Cause she fears that no man will ever desire her so bad. How dare I feel this and do naught but sit on my hands. I say "Fever." Hold my heart like a hot potato, Push the clock for an hour later. This is just code to decipher; Found my ploughman, chased the piper. That ended up. That's all now. These are the ones who talk. Never a lick--needs her to kiss him. The first five years go by and we are no longer here. I blame myself for not taking steps to draw her near. I try to decide what to do now based on love not fear. I say "Fever." (Fo[u]r years.) Hold my heart like a hot potato, Push the clock for an hour later. This is just code to decipher; Found my ploughman, chased the piper.
