Little Aphrodite Lyrics

I remember the first night I met you
You brushed past my arm at the bar
And suddenly it was as if somewhere
Someone scraped their keys down the side of my heart

A heart that had been stuck in traffic at some interminably changing red light
You beckoned me down a side street
Welcomed me into the night

You're weary and you wise like Athena
Like Artemis you're Wilde and you're free
You carry yourself like you're Hera
But quietly you'll always be Little Aphrodite, to me

Now I remember the first night I met you
How could I ever forget
You were trading my drinks for across the bar winks
Like a rumour I hadn't heard yet

When i stumbled into you outside I said I was sorry, but I was kind of a lie
I'd been waiting for you and I knew that you knew
You still laughed, still acted surprised

It's faintly ridiculous for me to be saying I'm sure
But if I had an apple to give then it would yours
And the others would rage as I turned them away as you followed me down to the shore
For you I would start a war
So baby yes I'm sure

You're weary and you wise like Athena
Like Artemis you're Wilde and you're free
You carry yourself like you're Hera
But quietly you'll always be Little Aphrodite, to me
Little Aphrodite to me
