Temptation

Why do you tempt me with your lovely smile? Do you not see that my heart is too weak? The spell that you cast was meant to beguile Is it a victim to torment you seek? Your beauty entices my very soul You weaken it with all of your glances A prisoner of love out on parole Ever so tired of fleeting romances Stay with me within my heart's secret place A Queen, will I make you if you desire I bow my head unworthy of your grace This flame you command sets my heart on fire Just a mere token of your affection Will cast out the fear of your rejection
