Please take my number !



I love your smile and your eyes
And your beautiful hair
and  the scent of your presence
Will you let me continue, or must I stop there?

The smartest and most wonderful, I think that you are
No one could outdo you
Anywhere here, or in places afar.

 I could go on and on
Of all I love about you
I really believe your the most beautiful
I try to deny it, but really, I do.

Today, you’re in luck
My card to you I can give
Just let me find it
My number is on it, and so is the address where I live.

There’s something I must say
So please don’t get me wrong
It’s my personality that sometimes
makes me seem to come on too strong

Not an affair, not a romance,
or to make your marriage end,
but what I really want, is just to be your closest friend
 
So, a simple card  I give you
and to end this silly rhyme,
I tell you this friend will answer your call
Anywhere, anytime.
