SHE RUNS AWAY
Roses, I send her roses to tell her how I feel pretty cool…deep inside,
And she knows what I mean when I say it with flowers…she's cool.
She sends me lovin', lines on betel leaf,
She will do what I say and she wants me to do.
I bet you know me! Make me lay her down,
I bet she does me! Make me lay her down,
Coz the way she keeps lookin' from the corners of her eyes…daybreaks,
She comes down to the beach just before the starry sky…disappears,
And she knows that I'm watchin' but she never seems to care…she's there.
She makes me wild on! She does it little strange.
And what love does she know with her fingers in the sand?
She makes me rock and she makes me hot,
I think she's too young and she thinks I'm flat.
She's got it comin' and I've got to make it,
Just in time I touch the ground and make her mine...
Breezes, she's got some long blowin' hair, keeps herself fold behind…hidin',
And she runs like the wind with the speed up in her feet…screamin'.
I think she's blushin'! What makes me think?
I can tell she's shy coz her smile is in despair.
I bet she's woman! She does it little strange.
I bet she does me! She breaks up in rage.
And she's tellin' me that I did have no guts to treat a woman…whispers,
Pretty girls run behind with some flowers and the laughter…"try me!"
Coz she told all the girls that I'm runnin' like a fool…loser,
They send me jasmine. You know what they mean?
All those native girls are teasin' round and flirtin' with 'em giggles…
"Stranger, try me!"
She makes me rock and she makes me hot,
I think she's too young and she thinks I'm flat.
She's got it comin' and I've got to make it,
Just in time I touch the ground and make her mine,
She runs away…
