Pet Peeve

The stroke of midnight and you barely make the cut
You need to step it up baby
If you want to stay with me

We’re dancing all night, around and round the room
With people watchin’, speculatin’
Gotta see if we can be

You embrace me close, tight and laugh at my expense
I love a man of knowledge
Intelligent sparkle in the eye

Of twirling thoughts and sentiment we thrive together
You wait ever patiently for me
And I know, I must give this a try
