A.S.O. JA.A.S. (A Song on Joylin Alonso’s Answering Service)

I thought that you might be bored
And I didn’t have no other phone messages I could forward
So I tried to sit down and write you something new
But I couldn’t think of words ‘cause I could only think of you

Four in the morning and I’m restless in my place
And I’m trying to find a way that I can start to plead my case
‘Cause, you bring me up, and you bring me down
You make me feel like I’m working the wrong sound
Start my begging and you make it easy
When you’re pulling on my plans and my generosity
‘Cause I’m only waiting for my own

But the way you move girl
The way you dance
The way you move girl
It lights up the night

So I hold my loving and I put it in a bowl
And I try to use the tricks that I’ve learned and I know
Trying to think of all the things I could say
On this phone message that you can hear me play
‘Cause I’m waiting
And I’m shaking
I’m so taken by your breaking
I’m still praising your whole away around

‘Cause the way you move girl
The way you dance
The way you move girl
It lights up the night

And I don’t even know which way to go
Been feeling like an ocean’s waiting
Trying to find the words so I can show
Maybe I can even realize them

The way you move girl
The way you dance
The way you move girl
It lights up the night


So I’ve been up
And I’ve been down
I’ve heard songs even worse than this one now
But it’s so hard to concentrate
When I can’t even put up, girl
So I’ve been waiting
Here by the sidelines
Trying to be patient
Thinking of your eyes
I’m trying to make this song as silly as can be
‘Cause life is so much easier in this verbal misery
So won’t you please come home with me
And I will be happy
