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
