B.. Alexander - Lust, Caution

Are you falling in love
Am I getting confused
All the wrong signals
All the wrong lines

Are we getting too deep
Do I linger too long
Running each of my fingers
All down your spine

Did I hold your gaze
Did you try to touch my hand
It felt like you didn't want to pull away
Oh, all the wrong signs

This isn't love
You're old enough to know
This isn't love
I just wanted you to know

It's been so long now
Since I was just casual
And it's hard to remember
To hold back some actions

Oh, don't make that mistake
Don't fall into that trap
So what we give, we need
But it will be taken away

And when I stand to leave
I must be vague in my thanks
And when you turn to go
You must be slight with your praise

This isn't love
You're cold enough to know
This isn't love
I just needed you to know

As you tingle, as I explode
This isn't love, this is lust
And I just wanted you to know
I just needed you to know...
