Little Aphrodite

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember the first night I met you You brushed past my arm at the bar And suddenly it was like somebody somewhere Scraped their keys down the side of my heart A heart that had been stuck in traffic At some interminably unchanging red light You beckoned me off down a side street And welcomed me into the night [Chorus] You're wary and you're wise like Athena Like Artemis, you're wild and you're free You carry yourself like you're Hera But quietly you'll always be little Aphrodite to me [Verse 2] Now, I remember the first night I met you How could I ever forget? You were trading my drinks for across-the-bar winks Like a rumour that I hadn't heard yet And I stumbled into you outside I said I was sorry, but that was kind of a lie I'd been waiting for you, and I knew that you knew But you still laughed, you still acted surprised [Bridge] And it's faintly ridiculous for me to be saying I'm sure But if I had an apple to give Then it would be yours And the others would rage as I turned them away But you'd follow me down to the shore For you I'd start a war So baby, yes, I'm sure [Chorus] You're wary and you're wise like Athena Like Artemis, you're wild and you're free You carry yourself like you're Hera But quietly you'll always be little Aphrodite to me
