A walk with her can race my heart
So why is it she sees it not
What steps are there to make a start?

Jump her bones? Would that be smart?
I have some nerve, but not a lot
(Short walks with her can race my heart).

Perhaps I should devise a chart
Or list what qualities I've got
Such steps as these could make a start.

Then she might say "let's never part."
And show me to her secret spot
A walk like that would race my heart!

A lover's feast served a la carte,
With dishes steamed and piping hot.
These are the steps to make a start.

For such a banquet is an art,
Do it wrong--you ain't got squat.
Do it right--be still your heart.
So use these steps and make your start.
