Baby, Please Don't Go! (My first blues number!)
I see you and you see me,
Strangers alone on a one way street,
Smiling quietly, heading away,
Baby, I like the way you sway.
Turn around sunshine,
I'd like to tell you a story of mine,
Quietly standing in the sun,
Of tears fought and battles won.
Yes it has, it's been a while,
Since I made a stranger smile.
Quirky conversation beside a cafe window,
Your hair moves in wisps as the wind blows.
You smell of peaches and cream,
Smell so good darlin' I could scream.
Could I fall in love, in love over just a few lines?
I'm a lost kid, please, baby, please be mine.
So this is a kid, writin' you a song,
He'd like you to sing along.
And hold his hand like a good baby girl,
Dance with him and give his hair a nice good twirl.
I see you and you see me,
Strangers alone on a one way street.
Smiling quietly, heading away,
Nothing happened, cuz, there was nothing I could say.
N.B: Listening to Muddy Waters while writing a poem can lead to "happy" bluesy poems. It's that blues scale. It does something to you!

In the immortal words of wise men everywhere...
"Dude, you need to get laid. Bad. "
Well well well, I see that you ARE indeed living in style, serenading some 'good baby girl'. ;)
But I gotta say, get John Mayer to belt out this one, and you have a winner. With the ladies, at least :)
@Pi
I concur! Whole heartedly even!
@angel
Na, this one was for no one in particular. Just "felt" like a blues ballad! Muddy Waters and B.B.King can be very persuasive.
I have a winner?! Gee thanks! *wide grin* Will call Mr.Mayer asap!
