How Dare You

How dare you brazenly walk As my every dream you stalk In the hallways of my mind Where my heart you must find Like this is your place You just simply pace Free in your domain You drive me insane Shoulders set back You’re on the attack Head held high For you know why You walk down this hall You know I‘ll come when you call And you SMILE How VILE HOW DARE YOU! How dare you look at me like that Like we’ve made a love pact So smug and so sure Your pride I endure You make me swoon Lovesick under the moon You make my legs go weak Put the color in my cheek When your pass my way The sun shines in my day And I don’t know why I might fall over and die To get a taste of paradise With just a look in your eyes HOW DARE YOU! How dare you play with me Like some squishy toy You tease and annoy Bend me all out of shape And yet you won’t stop the game For you have no shame You go on and squeeze Just being a tease Every day it’s the same You're the one to blame HOW DARE YOU! How dare you Hook me with words When you know full well Your words cast a spell And I can’t even breathe When my heart starts to read The little hidden love note Oh, how you must gloat To sense I’m starting to melt With every power felt You now turn on the heat Make my demise complete HOW DARE YOU!!!! How dare you Trick me to rant and rave Make me feel brave To spill out my heart Of which you want no part But you want to hear How I hold you dear And so you entice Add so much spice To all that you write And I’m plunged into night A poor helpless soul Who’s too honest to hold The love tight in my heart And so you start The turn my heart’s crank And relish your prank Make me march straight to you Knowing what you will do Give me a love peck And leave me a wreck HOW DARE YOU!!!!
