"Chained to You"
Song lyrics in /?/

Part 3

/And I think about it all the time/

I decided then. I don't like karaoke.
We had rented a room to ourselves. There was a small screen, where the
words would scroll across and a microphone. And of course, two chairs,
for the audience.
"Duo… I don't want to do this…" I said, trying to pull back from the room.
"You said that if I sang, then you would too. This is better than being on
stage, right?" He said, grinning even more. I was beginning to hate that
grin.
I grumbled a reply.
"Well, come on in then!"

Duo decided that he'd sing first… for a while. He's addicted to karaoke.
He went through some more ancient music, like "Carmina Burana." All
of the movements (the ones that had orchestral background). That's 13.
All in Latin. Lucky me. But since it was Duo singing, I could handle it.
After he got done with the ancient music, he changed to slightly less ancient
music. Yeah. Fleetwood Mac, Beatles, and Queen filled the air with sound
for the next hour. Finally, he said, "OK, Heero, it's your turn." Skimming
through the lists…I wanted to beat him at his own game, I decided/
"Alright, Duo. This is one that you probably don't know, but after I sing this
one, then you have to sing one of my choosing. Got that?"
"Deal. Just sing."

Taking a deep breath, I started concentrating on the song. I'd heard it
once, blaring from Relena's car. She likes ancient music. Especially the
music by Britney Spears and Savage Garden. So, I picked the Savage
Garden, liking the name.

"Chained to you. Savage Garden.

We were standin' all alone, you were moving in to speak to me,
Acting like a mover-shaker dancing to Madonna, then you kissed me,
And I think about it all the time,
Sweet temptation rushing over me,
And I think about is all the time,
Passion desires so intense, I can't take anymore because,

{I feel the magic all around you…It's bringing me to my knees,
Like a wannabe, I gotta be chained to you…}

And when you looked into my eyes, I felt a sudden sense of urgency,
Fascination casts it spell and you became more than just a mystery,
And I think about you all the time,
Is this Fate, is it my Destiny?
And I think about you all the time,
I no longer pretend to have my hand on the wheel because

{I feel the magic all around you, It's bringing me to my knees,
Like a wannabe, I've got to be chained to you,
I feel the magic building around you}

{I feel the magic all around you, it's bringing me to my knees,
Like a wannabe, I've got to be chained to you}

And I think about it all the time, and I think about it all the time,
Tell me it's madness, I barely know you,
We were standing all alone you were leaning in to speak to me,
Ten steps back you're still a mystery,
Acting like a mover-shaker dancing to Madonna then you kissed me, I can't
take it anymore

{I feel the magic all around you, it's bringing my to my knees,
Like a wannabe, I've got to be chained to you}"

Finishing, I bowed my head, like I'd watched Duo do on stage.
"Great job, Heero! I didn't know you could sing like that!" Duo cheered,
ending with some catcalls.
"Uh, thanks." I said, my face turning red again. I glared at the light,
obligingly, it shorted. Cool.
"Heero, did you do that? And were you blushing?" Duo asked, about ready
to laugh.
"Yes and yes."
"Wow. That's cool. Can you teach me your death glare?" he said,
completely forgetting the blushing.
Oh, you'll know it by the end of this, Duo…trust me…
The secondary lights lit the room with their pale light.
"Later." I said, walking to the bag in the corner of the room.
Complimentary cameras. You've just got to love the things.
