So Tonight I Might See

He puts his hands on me, 
I'm not the only thing he wants. 

To men, a body is ecstasy. 

"Show me more, put your hand here, give me what I wish you would..."
I am a woman of her pride, dignity.

What you made me feel obligated to do, I had wished to save for another man.
You are gone, but for no price other than my stolen innocence. 

He put his hands on me, 
Told me he loved me. 

I wasn't the only thing he wanted.
