Most Wanted Man

I never thought I'd see you looking at me this way Almost vulgar and out of place Like seeing the moon in the day I find it hard not to look away Hard to believe it's the same face I saw twisted in anger I thought you'd hate me forever Now I feel your hand under the table at the fancy restaurant Gripping on my inner thigh like if you don't, I'm gonna run But I'm not going anywhere, least not anywhere you're not Got me wrapped around your finger, tied in a double knot Just like our legs, all double knotted in the morning at the Ritz 700-dollar room, still drinking coffee from a Keurig We're soaking up the luxuries on someone else's dime Living the dream before we fully pass our prime And when we do, I'll have time to write the book on you Time to write the book on you Time to write the book on you Sitting on the kitchen counter counting bug bites on your thighs Just another southern summer sweating bullets in the highs Watermelon drippin' down your chin, laughing till you cry Sweetest tears I ever tasted, kissing salt out of your eyes I'll keep circumventing your pet peeves Bending over backwards every time that you say please I just wanna make you happy Will you let me spend a lifetime trying? And if you do, I'll have time to write the book on you Time to write the book on you Time to write the book on you Finally, time to write the book on you I still believe in God sometimes, it always takes me by surprise To catch myself in the middle of praying But I thank God for you when I don't know what else to do Don't know where the words go, but I still say 'em If it's not God, it's Fate, if it's not Fate, it's Chance If it's my chance, I'm gonna take it 'Cause who gets the chance like the one that I have To catch the most wanted man in West Tennessee? If you let me write the book Open the hood and take a look I promise anything you give to me is something I will keep We can burn it when it's done Soot and cinder in the sun Nothing left for anyone to read and weep
