  2. Alliteration I threw a wish in the well,Don't ask me, I'll never tellI looked to you as it fell,And now you're in my wayI'd trade my soul for a wish,Pennies and dimes for a kissI wasn't looking for this,But now you're in my wayYour stare was holdin',Ripped jeans, skin was showin'Hot night, wind was blowin'Where you think you're going, baby? Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?It's hard to look right,At you baby,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?Hey, I just met you,And this is crazy,But here's my number,So call me, maybe?
