i dot my i's
and cross my heart
and drink my cup of tea
i wish that i
knew how to start
i wish my eyes could see

but love is blind
i'm so afraid
to see is to believe
what will i find?
and will it fade?
can love these fears relieve?

my tea is weak
my love is strong
(if only you could see)
it feels so right
i can't go wrong
(if only you'll agree)

where can i go
to buy your love?
and what price must i pay?
how will i know
i've had enough?
and then - what will you say?

will it be "love"?
will you be kind
and give your heart to me?

will it be "love"?
or will i find

this is not my cup of tea

Jannel..this is SO great... unique and creative... I enjoyed the "cup of tea" methaphore...and the rhyme pattern is great too..very nice work!!
take care, janet marie

 "Bring it on baby what you getting into...
I swear at once it was the little things that mattered--
But it all seems true to you.
Say the hell with my name and say the hell with my picture...
but swear, for the one time you need me around.
And here I'll stand like it matters...
Only once love gets through then gets scattered by the rain...
But pain gives me the right to be unkind"...
