Bold

Once I looked before I leapt

It was best to feel my way

Keep your wits about you

Be careful what you say

 

Cheeky is your second name

I never knew a girl so bold

You made a new man of me

Your ways have taken hold

 

Now I'm impromptu and off-hand

Knee-jerk and quite automatic

I just follow your lead blindly

I don't care if you're autocratic

 

Cheeky is your second name

I never knew a girl so bold

You made a new man of me

Your ways have taken hold

 

Friends wonder who I am any more

What became of that notorious bore?

 

Cheeky is your second name

I never knew a girl so bold

You made a new man of me

Your ways have taken hold
