But he had to be the macho man! |
He didn't know how to tell me Our relationship was new He didn't know how to tell me 'Cos dates -- we'd just had a few. Now that I think back I know once or twice he was on the verge of revealing it But he couched, then said something nice. So I bought the tickets And soon, we were bound Me, excited, he rather subdued To the fairground. We did the usual things Cotton candy and stuff Little souvenirs, lots of games I couldn't get enough. The lights shone, the music played And then -- the big reveal An archway opened to a glittering Magical, amazing FERRIS WHEEL! I joined in the oohs and aahs I clapped like the rest This was the highlight of the day Oh, it was the best! "Come on," I urged him "Let's get on the first ride! Cuddle, while we go around In orbit, side by side!" I felt in my purse for the tickets, so precious Then grabbed my date's hand So nothing could separate us. But he didn't move He stood there, rooted While the music blared louder And a trumpet hooted. "The first ride is getting full!" I pleaded, as I tugged It was then that the words in him Were suddenly unplugged "I should've said this before," he blinked in the lights "I should've told you that I'm petrified of heights." "I can't go on the Ferris Wheel It just too frightening. How can I make it up to you? I'll do anything." So we gave the tickets away To another young couple Did he make it up to me? Yes, and more than double! He's just so cute And really wants to apologise He's been pampering me since Treating me like a prize! I didn't go on the Ferris Wheel But this entire romance Is a roller coaster ride For which I give my thanks!
