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.
