When security guys are all vaporized,
A Captain’s work is never done.
The ground is all stone, but the air’s like our own,
And I’m fighting shirtless in the sun.
Seems the women down there have long purple hair;
Their complexion is a lovely blue.
But now you’re beaming down, and buddy all I see is you!
(Chorus)
| Chorus: |
I just want to hold you closer than another guy is supposed to do. You say the main point of life is finding a wife After everything that we’ve been through! With the dangers we’ve shared, it’s strange that I’m scared To do the thing I need to do, And tell you that I find I feel dangerously close to you. |
Now, the homicide beat’s not the best place to meet
A new lover, let alone a friend.
And my caseload’s a bear, so there’s no time to care
How some Mountie may have met his end.
Still, I found time to flirt with each new passing skirt
Out of fear I may forget how to.
Then you flew into town, and buddy all I see is you!
(Chorus)
My partner has spunk, though she’s sent to debunk
Everything I wanted to believe.
We’ve seen wonders and lies, and the truth with our eyes,
Though we differ in what we perceive.
Her opinions are just, and we’ve built mutual trust.
It’s amazing just how close we grew.
But now you’re on my case, and buddy all I see is you!
(Chorus)
From a goddess above to a farm girl in love,
All the females seem obsessed with me.
But like dear old Dad, a strong mortal lad
Is sometimes more my cup of tea.
Though the oracle fears that in 3000 years,
Our relationship will be taboo,
You’re here by my side, and buddy all I see is you!
(Chorus)
