Nina Ricci - Designs On Me Lyrics

I'm laying on a towel on a snow-white sandy beach
The sun is sinking lower casting light all over me
And the man who's been my truest friend is shadow puppeting
He's casting shadows on my form
He's making butterflies and leaves
He's got designs on me

I must define what I believe that once you're yolked you never leave
I'm open-eyed, I'm not deceived and I like what I have seen
We've traded looks that lock in place that light up in the other's face
The kind that keep you twined for life
The ever-loving mystery
He's got designs on me
Designs on me

Why do lovers carve names in the trees?
Why do love birds return in the spring?
Why sometimes do we run past our dreams?
He's got designs on me
Designs on me

I watch the genius of his art, he listens to my chord
He fills balloons with colored paint and pins them on a board
He threw a dart and burst the first, invited me to join, and
And we came out color spurned
And laughing all the while
And I've started to believe
He's got designs on me
Designs on me

Why do lovers carve names in the trees?
Why do love birds return in the spring?
Why sometimes do we run past our dreams?
He's got designs on me, designs on me
He's got designs on me, designs on me
