I can feel you watching me with private eyes Wanting to take me up where we belong Where all night long we can share in love No more love on the run for the two of us We built this city of passion between us Amanda and I don’t ever want to leave Especially since I think we’re alone now Living with no rules like the wild wild west And when I see you smile it reminds me That love takes time and worth the wait As you’re the cream of the crop perfect for me Even as I wonder how do you talk to an angel When you know I’d do anything for love And I’ll make love to you like you want me to Because you’re my sweet sweet fantasy All romance and no diggity when I’m burning for you Like a candle in the wind that can’t be extinguished That sings do wop to serenade your heart I’m so smooth that you could never tell me know Running to me with your arms wide open This isn’t no family affair it’s just between you and I Where you can lose yourself in our romance And I can be your baby boy And you can be my boo
A prompt from Lillian over at dVerse to utilize the title of #1 songs from my birthday in a poem. I used from my birthday through 2004 to write a complete poem.

I appreciate it. I lucked out and had a solid list of songs (though doo wop was a hard one to shoehorn in there)

I am impressed with how you managed to weave all those titles into your poem. I am pretty sure I could have picked out most of them even without the italics.

“All romance and no diggity” – best line ever! I want this go mainstream as a descriptor for something. Like, “This valentine’s day card is all romance and no diggity”. This line makes my day!
