Nigel Birch, Stretch - Standards Lyrics

I hope you're at home
Praying for her like she's praying for
You
Waiting for a man that doesn't play
Games
And prefers words of encouragement
In a card
With her favourite perfume
Over sending nudes
There's a lot of access out here a lot
Of women to peruse
But the reflection of your character
Will be in the one you choose
We have to be honest with what we're
Trying to pursue
Sometimes the love you want ain't
Looking for you
A good woman can tell if your soul is
Still in the oven
It ain't ready yet
You haven't changed your dietary
Restrictions
Still a carnivore looking for flesh
We claim we're willing to plant seeds
In a woman's ebony
But sunflowers don't grow
If you're pouring empty promises
When a woman loves a man she'll
Make it work with nothing
She'll gamble with her heart
It's all or nothing
When she's playing with that type of
Risk
You better love that woman
The way you handle her heart will
Teach your maturity something

I hope you're at home
Praying for her like she's praying for
You
Waiting for a man that doesn't play
Games
And prefers words of encouragement
In a card
With her favourite perfume
Over sending nudes
There's a lot of access out here a lot
Of women to peruse
But the reflection of your character
Will be in the one you choose
We have to be honest with what we're
Trying to pursue
Sometimes the love you want ain't
Looking for you
A good woman can tell if your soul is
Still in the oven
It ain't ready yet
You haven't changed your dietary
Restrictions
Still a carnivore looking for flesh
We claim we're willing to plant seeds
In a woman's ebony
But sunflowers don't grow
If you're pouring empty promises
When a woman loves a man she'll
Make it work with nothing
She'll gamble with her heart
It's all or nothing
When she's playing with that type of
Risk
You better love that woman
The way you handle her heart will
Teach your maturity something
