‘Chris Says “No”‘

I knew when I first saw in you the Supermarket queue
As you leant against your trolley with those pretty eyes of blue.
I longed to see your smiling lips concealed behind your mask.
I moved two places back to you because I had to ask…

I wanna touch you, I wanna kiss you,
I want you, but Chris Whitty says “No”.
His insistence is, “Keep your distance,”
Hold back ’til the ‘R’ is low.

Weeks would past, I’d text and phone and talk to you on Zoom.
I even joined your girlfriends’ quiz and saw inside your room.
We talked of going on a date when that would be allowed,
And every day I longed for you and shared my feelings loud…

I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you,
But now we have to take it slow.
I wanna make plans, just wanna hold hands,
But Chris Whitty, he says “No”.

With passion burning hotter now I couldn’t stay away.
I tapped on your window so that you could hear me say.
“I’m prepared to break the rules without you I will die”.
But pointing to your Granny’s room you gave me your reply…

I wanna touch you, I wanna kiss you,
I want you, but Chris Whitty says “No”.
His insistence is, “Keep your distance,”
Hold back ’til the ‘R’ is low.
I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you,
But now we have to take it slow.
I wanna make plans, just wanna hold hands,
But Chris Whitty, he says “No”.

He should know.
Well, that’s Chis Wittey, he knows his R from his elbow.
When Chris says “No”, he means No.
