If It Takes Forever
She says she's superior
She says he must wait
If it takes forever she'll become his date
He says he's intractable
He says she must bow
If it takes forever he'll become her wow
She says she's adorable
She says he must drift
If it takes forever she'll become his gift
He says he's unrelenting
He says she must yield
If it takes forever he'll become her shield
She says she's exceptional
She says he must pause
If it takes forever she'll become his cause
He says he's implacable
He says she must rise
If it takes forever he'll become her prize
She says she's ambivalent
She says he must bide
If it takes forever she'll become his bride
He says he's victorious
He says she must fan
If it takes forever he'll become her man
