There's something wrong with my hands Oh yes, they're not holding you They should be enfolding you like a mother's pouch Around a baby kangaroo That sparkle in your eye Shines like a shiny diamond In a shiny diamond ring And like a crow, don't you know, I'm helpless around shiny things When I got to this dance bar, At first I didn't feel like waiting The lineup was so long But then I saw you and I thought '''I must be hallucinating!'Û But I was sober as a nun, And like a nun I prayed That we would dance one dance together And fall in love forever and our love would never fade You're quite a talented dancer - did you take a dancing class for that? And I like the way your pants are the same colours As the colours of the band around your hat I must sound like a schoolboy I haven't got a thing to say But wait, this song they're playing is great And it says exactly what I've been trying to say When Lionel Richie wrote Hello Was it you he was looking for? Not the blind girl in the video You know, the actor and the amateur sculptor Speaking of sculpting, my heart is spinning like a pottery wheel I feel like a ghost, I'm going crazy Is this how I'm supposed to feel? Like Demi and Swayze? There's something wrong with my hands They should be holding you - The way that hands were meant to do That sparkle in your eye Shines like a shiny diamond In a shiny diamond ring And like a crow, don't you know, I'm helpless around shiny things Your face is kind of like a planet That hasn't been discovered My heart's a space-pod that travels to your face's planet And it will never be recovered My heart will roam the surface of your face Collecting data on your lips But I'll cut off all communication with space stations And my mothership '''Cause I don't want Earth to know about you No, they wouldn't understand Just you and me here in this galaxy Like shipwrecked sailors on a tiny sandy island Like shipwrecked sailors deep in love Finally free to show their feelings Seen only by the million blinking eyes of God in the dark sky That is their island's ceiling And those million eyes are shining And I can see each one in yours They say the eyes are little windows to the heart, Well that's a start but I still need to find the door Still those sparkly eyes are shining Like a shiny diamond in a shiny diamond ring And like a crow, don't you know, I'm helpless around shiny things
