IF HE REALLY IS FROM MARS - Birgit Barrett
So I buy the morning paper
Turn straight to the daily stars
Just to get the early update
On who is new on Earth from Mars
And the charts draw perfect pictures
Of the perfect man to love
Though it’s got a be a trick for sure
Cause that kind of man is just unheard of!!
I talk - but he don’t listen
I speak - but he don’t seem to hear
I have a long discussion
About the way we were - The way we are - The way we’ll be
But it don’t seem to me - Like he’s here
Chorus:
If he really is from Mars
Why don’t he show his true color
He keeps wearing the same mask
That he was wearing long ago
And if he really is from Mars
Why don’t he speak his hometown lingo
I touch with talk
He talks with touch
I talk too much
That’s our communication now
I shout - He don’t pay attention
I scream - but he don’t seem aware
I have a conversation
About the way we were - The way we are - The way we’ll be
But it don’t seem to me - As if he’s here
Chorus
There is one more thing between us
And it don’t matter where he’s from
But could it be that I’m from Venus
And dance to a different beat of drum?
Chorus
