Generate meaning
1
She was sixteen and six feet tall
2
In a crowd of teenagers comin' out of the zoo
3
She stumbled, started to slip and fall
4
Teeter-tottered on the top of patent leather shoes
5
I happened to catch her and said
6
"Maybe these ruby shoes are a little cumbersome for you"
7
Maybe for you, now
8
But not as shaky as I must have seemed
9
Talkin' junk through her giggle, little teenage dream
10
And on the phone I could not compete
11
My dumb luck, fake competence was gettin weak
12
For a sec I thought I sounded sweet
13
But sure enough in a gruff, faint voice
14
I heard myself speak
15
I could stay a while but sooner or later I'll break your smile
16
And I can tell a joke but one of these days I'm bound to choke
17
And we could share a kiss but I feel like I can't go through with this
18
And I bet we could build a home but I know the right thing for me to do
19
Is to leave you alone, leave you alone, now
20
I'm beginnin to like you
21
So you probably won't get what I'm going to do
22
I'm walkin' away from you
23
It probably don't make much sense to you
24
But I'm tryin to save you
25
From all of the things that I'll probably say or do
26
I'll probably do
27
I could stay a while but sooner or later I'll break your smile
28
And I can tell a joke but one of these days I'm bound to choke
29
And we might share a kiss but I feel like I can't go through with this
30
And I bet we could build a home but I know the right thing for me to do
31
Is to leave you alone, leave you alone, now
32
You'll probably call me a fool
33
And say I'm doin' exactly what a coward would do
34
An I'm beginnin to like you
35
Its a shame, what a lame way to live but what can I do?
36
I hope you appreciate what I do
37
I'm a martyr for my love for you
38
A martyr for my love for you
39
A martyr for my love for you
40
A martyr for my love for you
