Love and Lust

You’re asking why I’m not in love, dear friend
But how a man like me for love would care?
If all I’m seeking from the beginning to the end
Is only the sexy body and the blond hair?

I don’t believe in love, I think it’s a lie
That we invented to mask our desire
But as I know that I eventually shall die
I try as much as I can to quench my fire

Why should I bond myself to just one lover
As if I choose to eat everyday from the same cake?
Instead, I try to taste as many of flavor 
And from every different kind a piece take

I don’t need love, lust overwhelms my soul
Love is an appearance, but lust is the real goal
