Jessica Harper - Parallel lyrics

I know you think that I'm just a little girl

But I am all woman trapped inside young skin

You dared to let me near enough to catch a drift of your sweet smell

It was all over then, it's not like I can take it back now

So just give me the benefit of the doubt

You've got someone else at home

I don't know her, I don't care to

But she must not be making you see

Because you looked to someone else

To open your frantic eyes, and that someone was me

And I know this all seems so very complicated

We're from opposite worlds, from separate times

But if you look closely

I think you'll notice

We're just two parallel lines

One's yours and baby one's mine

We're cards of the same suit

But, alas, we're different colors

I wish I could take and break the rules one time

And merge two parallel lines

If your lips are lying I will kiss them

And make the truth walk free

Your eyes have been sharing things

I probably shouldn't see

I'd need a box of magic tricks

To hold you in my arms

You don't have to tell me that this will never work

Cause baby I already know

But that doesn't mean

That I won't try
