Only Green Means Go

Only green means go
Yellow means take it
Carefully slow
And you should know
Red is halt right there, buddy
These are rules of the road
Only green means go
Oh, only green means go

We were out in the yard
On a swing by the shed
I tried kissing her then
She said back off instead

She said it wasn’t time yet
For foolin’ around with her
But she’d give me a sign soon
With a subtle small whisper

Only green means go
Yellow means take it
Carefully slow
And you should know
Red is halt right there, buddy
These are rules of the road
Only green means go
Oh, only green means go

We dated for weeks and
I was losing my patience
I wanted it so badly
Intimate steamy relations

She said it was sacred
Between women and men
And she reassured me
With an upturned grin

Only green means go
Yellow means take it
Carefully slow
And you should know
Red is halt right there, buddy
These are rules of the road
Only green means go
Oh, only green means go

At her parents’ cabin
On a hot summer night
Everything was perfect
The timing was right

We started kissing
She gave the green light
And her love filled me
Like seabreeze in a kite

Only green means go
Yellow means take it
Carefully slow
And you should know
Red is halt right there
Those are rules of the road
Only green means go
Oh, only green means go

Only green must go
Only green must go
To have is to hold
True love is pure gold
Her restraint means no, no, no…
and only green means go

Oh, only green means go
