Again, a true story. I was sitting in a cafe in Bali, journalling about how nice it would be if a woman would just come up to me and say Hi. The following day, a special someone may or may not have waved at me..
lyrics
First Move
Just a little wave will do, maybe a wink or two
Open up the door for me to come sit next to you
Cause i know if I get that far, baby I will win your heart
Just a little wave will do
I don’t wanna interrupt your conversation no
Come in cold like a winters day
I don;t wanna be rejected, no I couldn’t take it
So pretty lady, please initiate
Just a little wave will do
Oh baby won’t you please make this first move
When you see staring at you from across the room
Cause I ain’t got no game I don’t know what to say or do
But I’m dying to connect
So baby won’t you please make this first move
An hour is all I need for you to fall for me
I will open up a door to where you’ve never been before
Baby I will hold you tight, yeah I will treat you right
Just a little wave will do
Oh I know I will make you laugh and I will make you cry
I will hold your hand through the hardest times
So pretty lady, please initiate
Just a little wave will do
Oh baby won’t you please make this first move
When you see staring at you from across the room
Cause I ain’t got no game I don’t know what to say or do
But I’m dying to connect
So baby won’t you please make this first move
For now I’ll just sit alone and write this little song
And hold on tight to hope that it won’t be too long
Until a pretty lady will initiate
Just a little wave will do
Chorus
