Ransom
Spence Hood Lyrics

Hello, hello, you can call me handsome
Introducing himself in a charming manner

Let me get you something cold and I can take you for ransom
Offering to buy her a drink and spend some time with her

That is, if you don't mind, I'm a flexible guy
Acknowledging that she may not be interested, but he's okay with that

With an open agenda and a million butterflies
Being unsure yet excited about the possibilities of the night

There's a song in my head, you might know the one
Hinting at the fact that he's already thinking about her

And seeing as we're friends why don't we have a little fun
Suggesting that they take a chance and enjoy each other's company

Sit back, don't laugh at a stranger's serenade
Asking her to listen to his song without judgment

Cause I'm about to make your day
Promising to make her happy

Oh baby all I need
Expressing his desire for her

Is an hour with you and with your friends maybe two
Asking for a little bit of her time, and maybe even her friends'

Cause they gotta sign off on this brittle affection
Acknowledging that her friends' approval of him matters

Before I admit that I got a confession
Willing to share his feelings with her, but only after her friends approve

You were mine from the moment you walked in the door
Confessing that he was attracted to her even before they spoke

Cause your screamin' green eyes got me beggin' for more
Describing how her eyes caught his attention

So kiss my cheek, give me a number to ring
Asking for a kiss and her phone number

Or else I'm gonna have to sing
Playfully threatening to continue singing until she gives him her number

Now I'm not daddy's favorite, and your brother would hate me
Recognizing that her family may not approve of him

Mom'll tell the neighbors that her daughter's gone crazy
Joking that her mother may think she's lost her mind for liking him

But I could take you places you ain't never seen
Suggesting that he can show her a good time

So crazy take my wing
Encouraging her to take a chance on him

And let's fly
Urging her to go on an adventure with him

Just let these rocks in my pocket shoot you off like a rocket
Imagining that the things he carries around could launch them on a thrilling journey

And if you drop your heart, I'll pick it up and I'll lock it down
Pledging to take care of her heart and guard it carefully

Safe with the others, so climb under the covers
Assuring her that he's sincere and wants to protect her feelings

When you're laughing this hard we shouldn't lose each other
Noting how much fun they're having and wanting to keep it going

Tonight I'm gonna croon our way to honeymoon
Dreaming about a romantic future together

And if it takes all night, sugar that's alright
Indicating that he's patient and willing to take his time with her

Cause I got me a hundred much cooler rhymes when it comes to makin' you mine
Confidently assuring her that he has many more ways to win her over
