can't choose (Who do you love?)

Technically should be "whom" do you love, but that just sounds stuffy, doesn't it?

CAN'T CHOOSE

like a child of three
I want whatever I see
even what don't belong to me
sometimes we can't choose where we fall

it's pretty smoky in here
& you're standing so near
is it our words or just the beer
that keep us talking so long
(long after you should be gone?)

I'm in no place to fall
I'm in no place to fall
I have no grace to fall
I'm in no place to fall

what a sly little glance
do I have a chance?
I'd snap my fingers and dance
if that would turn your head
(What would turn your head?)

with a shy little smile
you stayed for awhile
playing your new songs in the old style
tell me who do you love?
(who do you love?)

repeat chorus
first & last verse

____

This is my second new song in as many weeks...I'm very prolific when my heart's been broken.
