Poppy Montgomery (born Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue; 15 June 1972) is an Australian-American actress. She played FBI agent Samantha Spade on the CBS mystery drama Without a Trace from 2002 to 2009, and has played Detective Carrie Wells on the police drama Unforgettable since 2011.
Montgomery was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to Nicola (née Montgomery), an executive and market researcher, and Phil Donahue, a restaurateur. She is one of six children. Her parents named all their daughters after flowers – Rosie, Daisy, Lily and Marigold, and their son Jethro, after the rock band Jethro Tull.
Montgomery disliked school, being expelled from six private academies before finally dropping out at the age of 15 to pursue stage acting and to travel around Bali with her then boyfriend. Montgomery emigrated to the United States at the age of 18, arriving in Florida to meet a boyfriend whom she had met when he was an exchange student. After five days, she realized that "[she] couldn't stand him" and took a bus to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
[Verse 1]
I thought about it and there is something you should know
I try to hide it not put everything on show
But you're in my head, second guess, decisions now regrets
What to do next, what did you expect
[Bridge]
If it's on, let me know it's on
Both wanna walk, don't wanna put a foot wrong
We could have it all waited so long
I'm ready to go if you're ready but
[Chorus]
You don't wanna seem foolish that's why you're holding back, I get that
I don't wanna look foolish so I'm keeping my mouth shut
Though we both know we're on it like nobody else
We don't wanna look foolish, and that's why we're fools
[Verse 2]
Have you thought about it? Seen us give this thing a try
Though you try to hide it, I think it's graphic in your eyes
Hold tight, make up your mind, while the promise drifts aside
Would you leave it behind?
[Bridge]
If it's on, let me know it's on
Both wanna walk, don't wanna put a foot wrong
We could have it all waited so long
I'm ready to go if you're ready but
[Chorus]
You don't wanna seem foolish that's why you're holding back, I get that
I don't wanna look foolish so I'm keeping my mouth shut
Though we both know we're on it like nobody else
We don't wanna look foolish, and that's why we're fools (x2)
[Middle 8]
I'm new to this, I'm new
That's why I keep looking like a fool (x4)
[Bridge]
If it's on, let me know it's on
Both wanna walk, don't wanna put a foot wrong
We could have it all waited so long
I'm ready to go if you're ready but
[Chorus]
You don't wanna seem foolish that's why you're holding back, I get that
I don't wanna look foolish so I'm keeping my mouth shut
Though we both know we're on it like nobody else
We don't wanna look foolish, and that's why we're fools (x2)
