Come close and I'll whisper a secret, A story about a girl. No you don't need to know what her name is, But I wrote about her before. I wish that I were her cigarettes. Tucked down deep in her pockets, And she'd light me up, let me swing from her lips Like a circus show. But this ain't a show, No it's a song for a girl, And she's making my head spin, Making me slur my words. This is a song about a girl. This is a song about love. La-la-la-la-love, I won't forget her name, Always love her the same, my love, La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love, This is all for you. Strike the match, burn me down til I'm nothing Like a vision she swims through the sheets on my mattress. She sets me off high, through the afterglow, Like a firework show. But this ain't a show, No it's a song for a girl, And she's making my head spin, Making me slur my words. This is a song about a girl, This is a song about love. La-la-la-la-love, I won't forget her name, Always love her the same, my love, La-la-la-la-la-la-la-love, This is all for you. If you want promises, baby I got 'em. Bought a plastic ring if you want it. 'Cause we're growing up girl, but damn we're still young. If we jump we could fall, if we jump we could fall in love.
