Acme

I saw his picture in the paper it was right next to yours
another true to life romance that ended behind closed doors
got the details from your parents the arrangements for the date
and the object of my devotion was handed to me by fate

Now i can put my arms around you , protect you from the night
I have the key to your room, i'll see if you're alright
I could start a conversation, but i wouldnt force you to reply
and if i should say that i love you . id be assured you will not cry

cos its a one sided love affair and i can touch you anywhere
i'm gonna run my fingers through your hair and convince myself that you really care
oh yeah

I brushed aside the flowers to gaze at your pale complexion
the young girl from just down the road who made the wrong selection
I bet you don't remember me - the young man with the strange occupation
now it wont matter where i touch you - you wont feel the sensation

cos its a one sided love affair and i can touch you anywhere
i'm gonna run my fingers through your hair and convince myself that you really care
oh yeah

And we'll keep our love a secret , no one respects my point of view
and if i promise to keep silent , i know that you will too
you don't really wanna know my name but im gonna tell you just the same

cos its a one sided love affair and i can touch you anywhere
i'm gonna run my fingers through your hair and convince myself that you really care
oh yeah

cos its a one sided love affair and i'm gonna touch you everywhere
i'm gonna run my fingers through your hair and convince myself that you really care
oh yeah
