Leon Redbone - I Want To Be Seduced lyrics

rate me

I wanna be seduced,<br />

Let a woman talk to me suggestively;<br />

Wanna know that she'd like me to be with her tomorrow morning<br />

Drinkin' hot jasmine tea.<br />

I want her to make me laugh (ha ha ha),<br />

Make a point about touching me when she talks (uhhmm ho ho hmm),<br />

Leaving all the jealous guys in the place to<br />

mumble in their wine and gawk.<br />

I know it only happens when I'm napping,<br />

Nodding in a reverie,<br />

That I find myself a woman that understands about seducing me.<br />

<br />

I know it only happens when I'm napping,<br />

Nodding in a reverie,<br />

That I find myself a woman who understands about seducing,<br />

I'll dream about the moon until she'll introduce herself,<br />

I'm imagining a woman who understands seducing me.<br />

<br />

I want to be seduced, I want a woman to take me out to dinner for two<br />

I want to see her eyes gettin' moody,<br />

Flirtin' with the thought of what flirtin' can lead to<br />

I want to act real cool, have her think about gettin' little me in bed<br />

Have a chat about Magna Charta, or Puerto Vallarta, or somethin' Gandhi said<br />

<br />

I might demur politely, falter slightly, if she starts to fondle my knee,<br />

But I'm relatively certain I'd compromise if I know me<br />

<br />

I want to be seduced, I want a wom-an to talk to me suggestively<br />

I want to hear her say she'll be with me tomorrow morning,<br />

Drinking hot jasmine tea<br />

<br />

I want her to make me laugh, make a point of touching me when she talks<br />

Leaving all the jealous guys in the joint to mumble in their beer and gawk<br />

<br />

I wanna be seduced,<br />

I wanna a woman to take me out to dinner for two;<br />

I'd like to see her eyes get moony<br />

Flirting with the thought of what a little flirting outta to do.<br />

I'd like to be real cool<br />

Let her figure out what I really mean, instead<br />

of havin' a chat about African genesis, psychokinesis<br />

or something Stanislavsky said.<br />

<br />

I might demure politely,<br />

Or falter slightly<br />

If she tries to fondle my knee,<br />

But I'm relatively certain that I'd come across if I know me.<br />

<br />

I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie<br />

That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me<br />

I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie<br />

That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing<br />

Starting from the moment that we'd been introduced<br />

That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me
