You're a Prospect

Letra

[Verse 1] You walk in like you know the room Blue jacket, Sunday afternoon You say my name, then lose your nerve I like the way you miss a curve [Pre-Chorus] Don’t bring me promises on paper Show me how you treat the waiter I’m not hard to understand Just don’t come with empty hands [Chorus] You’re a prospect, make your case Bring a little truth and a little taste I’m not waiting by the phone I’ve got plans and a life of my own You’re a prospect, take your time Keep it real and you might cross the line If you want a place beside me Show me what you’re made of, baby [Verse 2] You remembered how I take my tea That’s a decent start, I’ll give you three Good questions, no rehearsed routine You’re getting closer than you’ve been [Pre-Chorus] Don’t bring me promises on paper Show me how you treat the waiter I’m not hard to understand Just don’t come with empty hands [Chorus] You’re a prospect, make your case Bring a little truth and a little taste I’m not waiting by the phone I’ve got plans and a life of my own You’re a prospect, take your time Keep it real and you might cross the line If you want a place beside me Show me what you’re made of, baby [Bridge] No grand speech, no borrowed charm Just be steady, keep me warm Make me laugh, be kind, be clear That’s the kind of man I want near [Final Chorus] You’re a prospect, make your case Bring a little truth and a little taste I’m not waiting by the phone I’ve got plans and a life of my own You’re a prospect, take your time Keep it real and you might cross the line If you want a place beside me Show me what you’re made of, baby [Outro] Make your case, make your case You’re a prospect—show me what you’re made of
