You’re the girl with a Chinese patience
while I’m the nervous guy
Sometimes you knock upon my heart with no reply

But that just means I’m scare to face the kind of love I can’t deny
It makes me skidish as a snowflake in July

And when I vanish
you say it’s only mannish
The little boy inside of you
is playing hide and seek again

And when I vanish
you tell me I’ll be banished
I promise I will do my best
Then I vanish once again

You must know there is no other who could ever take your place
And I appreciate the grace you’ve granted me
I’m not gone for longer than it takes a fool in love to see
it’s time to get down on my tender bended knee

And when I vanish
you say it’s only mannish
The little boy inside of you
is playing hide and seek again

Vanish banish mannish vanish
Grow up show up or you’ll be banished
