Little Aphrodite

[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

[Hook]
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

[Hook]
