If You Look Harder You Might See (Glosa Verse)

by Jenni Marie   Jul 5, 2008


Lines Taken From Rachel Stevens-I Said Never Again (But Here We Are)

"You're the one who's creeping
Rough love's so deceiving
I said never again but here we are
A pure sweetness you're my only weakness"

Look a little harder baby, tell me what you see
Can you see me drowning in this endless misery
Hurting me constantly, like a record on repeat
Yet without you I'm still feeling so incomplete
At a loss now, don't know what to do anymore
Still my emotions and love you continue to ignore
Together we could be wonderful, so damn perfect
But seems I'm just someone for you to reject
Then everytime I end up silently weeping
...You're the one who's creeping

What do they say, everyone makes mistakes
Now had as much heartbreak as I can take
Come a little closer, look into my eyes
So obvious you're still uttering decietful lies
Punishing me for the wrongs done in the past
Not sure how much longer my strength can last
Can't you see that I would never hurt you
Baby you got my whole world askew
No good for me, but this is addicting
..."Rough love's so decieving"

Always falling blindly back into your bed
Wondering why I can't move on instead
You got my heart held tightly in your hands
Crushing it and you don't even understand
Shouldn't let you fool me, to good for that
Yet I sit alone waiting for you to come back
Wanting to be together, just us two alone
Silently in my mind sorrowful thoughts roam
Maybe one day you''ll push me a little too far
..."I said never again (But here we are)"

So come on honey, look very closely at me
Love you more than anyone, don't you agree
We could go far, be so wonderful together
Live in a paradise with a fairytale forever
Start paying attenton to how I'm feeling
Recall when our love was so appealing
Trust that I wont hurt you, give us a chance
Like me, believe in a beautiful romance
Don't allow us to be overtaken with bleakness
Cause..."A pure sweetness you're my only weakness"

Glosa-Verse: A Spanish form invented by court poets in the 14th and 15th centuries. An opening quatrain, called a 'cabeza' is chosen from another poet, or song. The glosa elaborates or 'glosses' on the quatrain with four ten line stanzas, their concluding lines taken consecutively from the quatrain and their sixth and ninth lines rhyming with the borrowed tenth.
