Like China - Live From Dallas 1985

Now my mom and dad both say
I must be crazy to be this infatuated
But I know that you know
We got something special never felt before

You get me going just looking at you
And the feeling's not hard to recognise, so
Alright, I'll come out in the open with it
Will you walk out with me?

'Cause you're the first girl I've ever loved
Now tell me, do you feel the same way?
I'm gonna show you I'm not like all the rest
'Cause I know who I am

Your skin as smooth as silk and your eyes like stars
You're just like a picture book just standing there, oh
But I can't go on, no, I can't go on
Thinking you don't feel the same way as I do

I'll be so careful, I'll hold you like China
I'll promise not to hurt you, I'll hold you like China
You won't feel nothing, 'cause I'll hold you like China
'Cause I know it's your first time

Your mom and dad don't like me
And they tell me every time they come around to see you
I don't know why
'Cause I always straighten my tie and comb my hair

I know your brother thinks that
I'm a limp wristed wimp from the other side of town
You tell him he's got me wrong
Because I'm really not like that, and I'll tell you why

'Cause you're the first girl I've ever loved
Now tell me, do you feel the same way?
I'm gonna show you I'm not like all the rest
'Cause I know who I am

I remember the very first time I held your hand
And that was the last time you were so close to me, oh
But I can't go on
No, I can't go on thinking you don't feel the same way as I do

I'll be so careful, I'll hold you like China
I'll promise not to hurt you, I'll hold you like China
You won't feel nothing, 'cause I'll hold you like China
'Cause I know it's your first time

Oh, I know you know and now I wanna
I wanna tell everybody
I know that you know and now I want them all to see

Do you see?
Do you see?
Tell me, do you see?
Na na, do you see?
'Cause you see they all know, you know

And they know, I know that she knows
And he knows, I know that they know
That he knows, I know that I know
They know, you know she knows
He knows, you know that I know
You know, you know you know
And I know, I know you know
