She Got Me
This song just captures an ordinary, everyday moment that two people in a happy relationship are likely going to have many times over... one pulling the leg of the other with a joke. In this scene, the girl jokes and the guy gets totally sucked in by her but appreciating her with a poke of fun at her of his own. To understand, I hope you know what April Fool's Day is all about. It is another song with a driving, upbeat rhythm. It is the second song on "This is Love" and keeps the pace going.
She Got Me

I was feeling really good
Walking tall, as I should
I had a cocky attitude I’d say
A
I was happy as a clam
Satisfied with who I am. Hey, Hey
E
Hand in hand with my girl
We walked along a sunny trail
Nothing surely could derail our day
A
So I turned to my gal
I said something magical and smiled

She frowned and said, “Hey, what did you just say?”
Confusion reigned in my brain
Damn, here we go again
What did I say she didn’t understand
Was it stupid? Was it wrong?
Now, we’ll argue. God knows for how long
I ran what I just said
Several times through my head
But, then I thought perhaps instead, I’ll ask her
What went wrong? What did I say?
I didn’t mean anything that way

She put her hands on her hips
Curled her luscious lips
Looked like she had some tips for me
It seemed to take forever
I began to think that she would never speak
She slowly hummed and she hawed
In that time, in that pause
Antarctica could have thawed completely
I was nervous as a squirrel
I’ve upset my treasured girl again
E

She smiled and said, “April Fool, my love”
I still feel really good
I walk tall as I should
But, gone is the attitude. Hey, Hey
This girl is my match
She is a precious catch. So she says
