DOUBLE TIME TEASE
The music's ringing, the people are singing,
But nobody's home, and the clock is ticking.
How can I say this, in a way you'll understand,
Too cool, too cruel, time to move along.
Just smile a little now, make it worth your while.
Tell me something special, then take it away.
Be a tease, not a sleaze, but stop when I beg for more.
So what's on your mind, could it be too complex,
For my devilish mind to perceive.
I don't mind if you indulge me,
Just tell me it's all for fun.
But break my heart, the old fashion way,
And be distinct, with your guile.
Lets settle this with fire,
And purge me with passion delight.
But darling don't believe me, when I tell you it's a lie;
I'm really just a child, deep down inside.
So what if I am a con, could it be so bad to play along.
You know my smile is gifted, and it gets you every time,
But you resist just the same.
You play it like it's nothing,
But I see a twinkle in your eye.
The one they call Venus, which rules all love's domain.
You crave love and hide it, but I see it deep inside.
Your snicker is like lust, your lips, like a daggers edge.
Your nostrils flare, with fiery intent,
But your eyes say timid and shy.
So why not take a chance, nail me to the wall,
And say I'm yours,
Then to cool, too cruel, time to move along.
Try it my way, just one time,
See if it's not, your seasons delight.
I'm a man of dignity, though I can be a sleaze.
Come on little sweetness, let me feel your heat.
Then break my heart, and step on my feet.
But beware vision of love, my name is persuasion,
And I'm deadly like an Asp.
But I won't hurt you, I just want to spend the night.
Because I'm to cool, and too cruel,
And I'll break your heart for sure.
So try me if you dare, I could be your dream come true.
You could take me for a ride,
And leave me in the pits.
Then make me long, for your souls delight,
Or it just might end up,
To cool, too cruel, Time to move along.
