Enigma

(Verse- Latin)

You veered my way leaned in close.  Our chit-chat touched on morose

Thought out of the box, for an orthodox.  Then you grinned-- Uh, huh

Described you mom’s roast chicken.  I noticed my pulse quicken

Walked me to my car, complained I parked too far.  Then made a joke-- Uh, huh

Are you facetious, or are you serious, or are you kidding or are you both?

(Chorus- Country)

You’re an enigma, wrapped in a Jew

I’m on the outside looking in-- I don’t know what to do

You’re always busy with your sisters, tethered to your mother

Cut the chord, or find another

You called me late, cooed my name.  Confiscated my game.

Said you come around, after sun down.  Then you grinned-- Uh, huh

Your texts today were cunning.  Our repartee’s no-less-than stunning

But you’re slip’ry, keep taunting me.  Can’t nail you down-- Nuh, uh

(Bridge – Country)

I’m totally wrong for you.  You’re apropos for me

Funny and kind.  In that keppie a sharp mind

Our morning was unusual.  But the day was sublime

I’m no baleboostah for you.  You’re apropos for me

But I can’t navigate, our differences of fate

We could start all over.  But I think it’s too late.

(Instrumental)

I’ve lost the shape of your face.  Your pale skin seems out of place

Your fading voice, was not my choice.  Your hard G’s gone-- Uh, huh

You said you liked my moxie.  But-your-commitment’s to-your orth-o-doxy.

I miss our long chats, your black winter hats.  Your dimpled smile-- Uh, huh

You’re so facetious, or are you serious, or were you kidding or are you both?
