HEAVEN CAN TELL (To the tune of "I Know Him So Well" from Chess)

Because I Don't Do H/S. Aaahh, slowly I shall win over your hearts & minds, you E/D Naysayers. produces watch to dangle in front of your eyes You are feeling sleepy... very sleepy...

-x-

HER: Heaven knows I'm not a girl who riles easily

'Cept when I'm defending what is right,

So why should I argue delib'rately?

When did it become such fun to fight?

-x-

Heaven knows that I would probably run a mile

If he made a move, screaming as well...

But why's it that Goddamn jerk makes me smile?

It's beyond me, still, Heaven can tell.

HER: He's not that great,

(HIM: What a pain!)

HER: Hardly the best,

(HIM: What a pest!)

BOTH: So tell my hormones to give it a rest!

HIM: Cos Heaven knows they make it

Awfully hard for me...

(HER: Have some dignity!)

I can't pretend I see a future here...

BOTH: But Heaven can tell.

-x-

HIM: Heaven knows she's not a girl I'd try to catch,

Heaven knows I'm not that desperate yet.

So how comes after every slanging match

It feels like we both need a cigarette?

-x-

Heaven knows we're never gonna be Hearts and Flowers.

(HER: Heaven alone knows I'd not live it down if he knew...)

She would make a girlfriend straight from Hell.

(HER: Still it's just a bit exciting...)

But she brings heat to all my coldest hours -

(HER: Maybe... maybe if he felt the same...)

And you can bet your ass I'll never tell.

This isn't fair!

(HER: Such a pest!)

This is insane!

(HER: Such a pain!)

BOTH: But there's that feeling in my stomach again.

I shoulda known -

I watched "Romancing The Stone" just last May!

What a disgusting cliché!

HIM: This isn't good...

HER: For pity's sake...

HIM: This is the weirdest riddle to date...

(HER: ...or not date?)

To feel this way about a Fricking Lunatic.

(HER: Selfish Hypocrite!)

Exactly what is it about her, then?

Guess Heaven can tell.

HER: Heaven knows I hide it from him.

BOTH: But Heaven can tell.
