I Love You Too Much (To Lead You Astray)
An original song by Anastasia Ashworth

(Verse 1)
Every time you come my way,
I get chills up & down my spine
My thoughts are all in disarray
As romantic visions fill my mind,
And all the while, my heart's racing away,
Somehow keeping perfect time

I love you!  Oh, I love you so!
My feelings for you are all-too-real!
I love you more than you'll ever know,
But you'll never know just how I feel...
Not as long as you're with that girl
With the long blonde hair & inch-high heels

(Chorus)
You've got a love of your own, I know,
And it wouldn't be right to tear you away,
So while you're with her, I'll just stay alone,
Hoping to find my Prince Charming one day...
But, for now, do I love you? Yes, I love you so,
And I love you too much to lead you astray

(Verse 2)
I dream of your gentle touch at night,
And I dream of the daytime hours we spend
It's really wrong, yet it feels so right!
When will this crazy madness end?
I wish you were there to hold me tight,
But it's no use trying to pretend

I know I'm not the only source of joy
With whom you could choose to fall in love,
And there are plenty of other boys--
As many as the stars in the skies above!
She's your tried & true girlfriend, not just a toy,
So why should I feel any blues to speak of?

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

(Bridge [spoken])

Love is patient & kind...
Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude...
Love does not demand its own way...
Love is not irritable, & it keeps no record of when it has been wronged...

(Verse 3)
The heart wants whatever it desires,
And the same is true of you & I
I guess I should just quench that fire,
And let my feelings for you die
You've found an angel to take you higher,
And, now, it's best if I just let you fly

I'm sure Cupid's arrow will strike me again,
And I'll find someone else to take hold of my heart,
So, why should I worry? Why should I complain?
I'll find someone with whom to make a fresh start!
And, with that in mind, I go on my merry way,
Never to tear two conjoined souls apart

(Chorus) (2x)

(Fade-out)
Lately, I've been coming up with ideas for songs to sing on Youtube (& also use in demo recordings), so that I can get my proverbial foot in the door, & attract the attention of prominent people in the music industry who will help me become a big music star (preferably "old-school" people like Prince, or Wendy & Lisa, or Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, among many others--oh, did I mention Prince? :excited: ).

As you can probably tell, this song is about a girl who secretly loves a guy, but doesn't want to come between him & his girlfriend. A bit of an overused topic, I know, but rest assured that my other Youtube / demo songs cover a wide variety of subjects (& one of them has to do with Joan Of Arc! ;) ).

So, what do you think of the song, guys? :) Do tell me your thoughts! :D

This is just wonderful! Usually when song lyrics are written out, they sound really stupid, but this was just great! Aside from the flawless rhymes and scan, it does perfectly express the emotions one feels in that situation.
