10 I See
John Michael Howell
One hi to start the conversation
Two legs that I can't stop from shaking
Three words that I wish I was speaking now
But these four limbs don't wanna carry it out
I got five fingers dying to hold your hand
And a six figure living I wanna spend
All these seven lonely nights could really use a plus one
So let's make eight turn it ninety degrees
When you're ninety with me, baby, you'll still be
The only ten I see
The only ten I see
Ocean's Eleven, babe you stole my heart
Now twelve hours a day I'm swimming with the sharks
In my head, give it Thirteen Reasons to leave it in the dark
But I would never harm my fourteen-year-old heart
I got five fingers dying to hold your hand
And a six figure living I wanna spend
All these seven lonely nights could really use a plus one
So let's make eight turn it ninety degrees
When you're ninety with me, baby, you'll still be
The only ten I see
Fifteen times I've tried
Sixteen times I've failed
Give me seventeen chances, maybe I'll approach her
Those eighteen inches I wish I could cross over
1999 I took a breath
From then 'till my 20s, you took the rest
All these seven lonely nights could really use a plus one
So let's make eight turn it ninety degrees
When you're ninety with me, baby, you'll still be
The only ten I see
The only ten
