Name: Face to Face
Duration: P00H02M44S
Description: My Lou Reed tribute. Most people talk about the artistry and gritty realism of Lou's work, but let's not forget that the man wrote some amazing pop songs. This is my salute to that underappreciated side of his writing. I even tried to perform it with a little bit of his style for good measure.

lyrics

I’m simply amazed by everything that you do
You blow me away by just being you
I guess I would say I’m captivated by you
And you don’t seem to know what you put me through

Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’know you’re driving me mad
And you don’t realize how you throw me off my pace
So I’m gonna have to tell you face to face

The time to tell you is now ‘cause push is coming to shove
Who knew this jaded heart could be so full of love?
I know it sounds cliché, but uh, did you fall from above?
Because you are the only one that I’ve been dreaming of

Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’knoe you’re driving me mad
You might say I’m obsessed, but that’s not quite the case
I just think you’re the best and I want to tell you face to face

Face to face

Now I wanna be a good boy, don’t wanna be bad
But I can’t get enough of you, y’know you’re driving me mad
Every time I try to talk to you I feel so out of place
Looks like I’ll never get to tell you face to face

Face to face, face to face
I’ll never get to tell you face to face
