Lady In Red (Rubaiyat)

He always loved the song 'Lady In Red' so I decided to mess with his head, The dress I wore showed cleavage and some legs was flaming red with strands of silver thread. I pinned my hair up with some silver pegs and took a drink down to the very dregs, The music's on, his song begins to play he looks at me with eyes that truly begs. He took me in his arms we danced away he held me tightly wishing I would stay, I felt his body warming to my touch as on his heaving chest my head I lay. But now I'm thinking, this is just too much so I stepped back and glanced down at my watch, And said I have to go, excuse me please the shock showed as his jaws fell down a notch. And as I gave his hand a gentle squeeze the twinkle in my eyes made him say "Freeze," He kissed my lips and led me to the bed and said "Lady in red, you're such a tease."
