Temptress
Something should be done
About�the way you tantalize men.
You bring out their beast
Then you start to condemn.
You use the gifts God gave you
You're a temptress and a tease.
You've got a body built for sin
It brings men to their knees.
You can make us do your bidding
Your charms, I can't deny
You'll blow our minds and send us
Soaring across the sky.
When you decide the journey's over
And we come crashing to the ground.
Headlong into depression
We're left thrashing all around.
Our egos crushed, our hearts are broke
We can love no more.
You've taken all that we can give
We're now ships that have run ashore.
Your a temptress and a tease
Whose heart is made of stone.
Someday you'll know, the games you've played
Have left you all alone.
