My eyes - too charmed to change
My heart, Nicole, feels kind of strange
'Cause every time I think of you
I wish that I knew just what to do

You are a distant star
So very bright, so very far
'Cause every time you look away
I wish that I too could light your day

These things I hear from folks begin to grow
The sympathy I want to show you, Nicole
All their hypocrisy and anger make me
Wanna help you silence their jealous souls
Oh you know, Nicole

I don't expect a lot
Or ask that you give love a shot
'Cause love is pain and I've been hurt
For only love treats me like dirt

When I go right to bed
I want your dreams put in my head
'Cause I admire you very much
And think my dreams are not clear enough

These things I hear from folks begin to grow
The sympathy I want to show you, Nicole
All their hypocrisy and anger make me
Wanna help you silence their jealous souls
Oh you know, Nicole

You just don't seem to care
For all the things I want to share
But must you fail to understand
I like you more now than when I began?

I want to give you flowers
I want to talk with you for hours
I want to live inside your eyes
Where beauty lives and evil dies

These things I hear from folks begin to grow
The sympathy I want to show you, Nicole
All their hypocrisy and anger make me
Wanna help you silence their jealous souls
Oh you know, Nicole.
