DON'T TREAD ON MY WORDS PLEASE

Mellow
1:
Don't tread on my words please while I'm telling you what's good about you
'Cause compliments don't trip off this tongue very easily
So take them with grace please
The expression on my face must show you that what I'm saying's straight from my heart
Not my head, my heart
I'm stating all my deepest feelings for you in my layman poetry
Phrases with sophistication instead of those you normally hear from me
2:
Don't tread on my words please while I'm listing attributes that suit you
In flowery terms describing how I love you such a lot
I'd rather you'd not please drown my words out as you're too inclined to
This time I'm on a roll so ease back - I am in control
I'm stating all my deepest feelings for you in my layman poetry
Phrases with sophistication instead of those you normally hear from me
3:
Don't tread on my words please - hold your habit - just supress that urge in you
Not saying it's so bad that it masks all your greatest points
Don't tread on my words please - here's my chance to lay it on the line well
I want to be a pair with you long-term, not grow apart
I'm stating all my deepest feelings for you in my layman poetry
Phrases with sophistication instead of those you normally hear from me
Don't tread on my words please this time
