Lyrics

Powders

(Okay)
Powders in between palms in the dry Pacific night
Ooh
Hands pulling me to a new place
Ooh
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
Free house
Greatest two words to hear at sixteen
Glee, you've arrived
Floral notes from your friends
In between the crowd, we lock eyes
This fragrance should elevate your handsomeness
She's looking up from the packaging and smiling
I know this girl, I've seen her at school
"Then I'll take a pallet!" I laugh
The snap of my quip is caught under another shopper asking for directions to the restroom
She turns back to me
"Would you like this gift-wrapped?"
"No, thank you"
I watch her hands
"Okay, that'll be 49.95"
I think I love her (I'm your man, I'm your man)
(Okay)
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
