Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?<br />Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?<br />Delicate<br />Third floor on the West Side, me and you<br />Handsome, your mansion with a view<br />Do the girls back home touch you like I do?<br />Long night, with your hands up in my hair<br />Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs<br />Stay here, honey, I don't wanna share<br />'Cause I like you<br />This ain't for the best<br />My reputation's never been worse, so<br />You must like me for me<br />Yeah, I want you<br />We can't make<br />Any promises now, can we, babe?<br />But you can make me a drink<br />Is it cool that I said all that?<br />Is it chill that you're in my head?<br />'Cause I know that it's delicate (delicate)<br />Is it cool that I said all that<br />Is it too soon to do this yet?<br />'Cause I know that it's delicate<br />Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?<br />Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?
