[00:13.630] | When you talk to her talk to her |
[00:15.380] | Like it was somebody else |

[00:18.560] | |
[00:19.490] | Dont get smart |
[00:20.340] | But I have a heart to heart |
[00:22.100] | And just like you would |

[00:47.010] | But youre losing patience |
[00:48.690] | Take your time and look her in the eyes |
[00:50.940] | |
[00:51.560] | When you just cant find the words you want |
[00:53.930] | And its hard to reach a point |
[00:55.430] | Where you both can understand |
[00:56.180] | |
