lyrics

“Tone is Set”

A touch of charm set to disarm
But do tread carefully
The right handshake can make or break
A friend or enemy
Your tongue all tied behind
The faults nobody tells
You’ll simply have to hope
Your first impression sells

So take the plunge
And don’t you doubt
The tone is set
From here on out

A pretty lass you met in class
You got the guts one day
You try to flirt but red alert
You find nothing to say
An opportunity that you
Have missed you can’t regain
So don’t you crucify yourself
You see you must refrain

You have to lunge
To win the bout
No need to fret
Just choose a route

So take the plunge
And don’t you doubt
The tone is set
From here on out

Button down, head into town
For your big interview
Need this job, can’t be a slob
You’ve really thought this through
Sitting in the office
See a stain upon your tie
And you are so embarrassed
That you think you may well die

You have to lunge
To win the bout
No need to fret
Just choose a route

So take the plunge
And don’t you doubt
The tone is set
From here on out

Don’t over-criticize
You beat yourself up so
Over things about you
That no one could ever know
The tiny imperfections
That are so hard to detect
That you are only human
Is all that they could reflect

A touch of charm set to disarm
But do tread carefully
The right handshake can make or break
A friend or enemy
Your tongue all tied behind
The faults nobody tells
You’ll simply have to hope
Your first impression sells

You have to lunge
To win the bout
No need to fret
Just choose a route

So take the plunge
And don’t you doubt
The tone is set
From here on out
