Jack in the Box

I criticised the 5 o’clock shadow,

To see if you’d change it to noon,

Because then I’ll know if it’s too soon

To tell Jack to come out.

He’s been boxed in.

And I need him to know that

I love you.

Because once the words cross

That bridge.

I can open up the door

And let the light from my soul

Pour into your life.

That's right baby ►
