Mr. Miranda by the Moonlight Lyrics

All my eloquence failed me

When the Metro cop who tailed me

To your house last night introduced me

To Mr. Miranda by the moonlight

I just stopped by for a cup of sugar

Maybe some conversation

Anyway I was in the neighborhood

I wish you would have let me in

But if I peeked into your window

It would not mean that I was desperate

I'd just be trying to keep things together

Though you contrive to keep them separate

And when I drove around you on the highway

My heart was not significantly above its rest rate

But did you think that it was true

Love gone wrong well baby that's a long shot

All my reasoning clouds me

When I try to figure you out

You see I'm a man who doesn't

Like surprises or so I'm told

I like an even temper I try to be

Semper fidelis but sumus quod sumus

But when they exhume us

They'll see that my eyes were rolled

'Cause if I peeked into your window

It would not mean that I was desperate

I'd just be trying to keep things together

Though you contrive to keep them separate

And when I drove around you on the highway

My heart was not significantly above its rest rate

But did you think that it was true

Love gone wrong well baby that's a long shot

Tie me up strap me down

Put a straitjacket on this clown

Activate that restraining order

Won't keep me down

'Cause I ain't done a thing got no song to sing

Except this one that says see you around

'Cause this ain't true love

Gone wrong oh baby that's such a long shot
