"Pandora"

I can understand the frustration of lyricists and authors whose words are understood in a manner contrary to that which was intended. I’ve never had any complaints on this one, but as I read over the words, I can think of a couple of ways for this to be taken wrongly. But since it hasn’t come up thus far, I’m not going to point them out.

I read the name in books, but never thought we'd meet like this

I didn't recognize you till you spoke

Pleased to meet you, Pandora

Pleased to be your friend

It might have been my hearing, but I thought I heard you lisp

You laughed at me, but never at my jokes

Don't step on my straight lines, Pandora

But please come again

I can take the trouble; I can take the time

A million inconveniences, but I don't mind

Cause I know you love me, Pandora

I know you care, Pandora

You mentioned other lovers, but I failed to catch their names

Are they in the present or the past?

I'd like to know more about you, Pandora

But don't give me the numbers

Do you think we're ready to move into this terrain,

Or are you still assembling the cast?

Meet my support group, Pandora

They're here to keep me humble

I can take the trouble; I can take the time

A million inconveniences, but I don't mind

Cause I know you love me, Pandora

I know you care, Pandora

Watching the clock till indiscretion knocks

Opening the lock

So I can slip into Pandora's box

You're a mystery, Pandora

But I promise not to pry

You've got a history, Pandora

But so do I

So do I, so do I

I can take the trouble; I can take the time

A million inconveniences, but I don't mind

Cause I know you love me, Pandora

I know you care, Pandora
