CONFIDENCE
(Chris Sugden AKA Sid Kipper)

I can't believe you like me. I've got a double chin.
I don't know how much longer I can hold me stomach in.
Me clothes are not in fashion, as anyone can see,
So why did you come over and sit down next to me?

I can't believe you like me. I'm really just a mess.
You say we are the same age, though you look five years less.
You're witty and you're charming, and clearly not unwise,
So why do you keep staring and gazing in my eyes?

I can't believe you like me. I've had a drop to drink.
I'm smoking like a chimney and you don't smoke, I think.
If you said goodbye and left me, I'd surely understand,
So why are we two walking back to your place hand in hand?

I can't believe you like me. It's such tidy flat.
I'm making conversation but I'm talking through me hat.
And in this brighter light, you can confirm all of your doubts,
So why are you suggesting that we miss the coffee out?

I can't believe you like me. Oh, can't you feel me shake?
I know at any moment you will realize your mistake.
Soon you will be hinting that I should disappear,
So how come we are kissing and how come I'm still here?

I can't believe you like me, but the sun is rising now.
We're talking and touching. The night has flown somehow.
I can't believe you like me, so how can this be true,
That you just whispered that you can't believe that I like you?
