Sammy's Song

[Beau LaRoux]

The piece of paper would be folded and taped to the front of Dorm Room 206. Someone with decent handwriting had written "Sammy" on the front. When unfolded, it revealed a piece of computer paper with meticulously neat lines scrawled in ink. There were a few blots, but very few strike-throughs; someone had gotten things right fast.

Sammy's Song (You're Kinda Hot)
by Beau LaRoux

One day I backed up and I found you, Sammy
I wasn't lookin', wasn't plannin', but
there you were
Turned around an' tried to say
the million things runnin' through my mind
but opened up my mouth
an' only one thing came out

I think you're kinda hot
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's somethin'.
Oh I think you're kinda hot,
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's a start.

So why don't you let me get to know you, babe?
Why don't you spend some time?
Why don't you and me go where we need to
go and be alone
Oh Sammy, you make me kinda hot.


but you laughed and smiled an' then I felt
a little better
Tried to talk an' save some face an' flirt
jus' a little.
an' you had that book
an' you gave me this look
Wonderin' all the times if this guy in
front of you could be real
cuz I kept openin' my mouth
an' somethin' kept comin' out

I think you're kinda hot
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's somethin'.
Oh I think you're kinda hot
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's a start.

It got me to come close to you,
It let me get to know you better,
It got me to find out that there's a girl
behind that kinda hot
an' though it wasn't a lot
it got me to talk to you,
Sammy,
an' now I know you better
now I've seen you giggle,
now I've heard that snort
an' I think I should let you know

That you make me kinda hot
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's, oh, it's definitely somethin'
Oh you make me kinda hot
an' I know that ain't a lot
but it's what got me here to say.

Happy Valentine's Day.
