The Game of Lust and Passion
Her pouting lips and soft perfume
has his soul burning like fire
In all his life he’s never known
this kind of boiling desire
But he has always been faithful
to his wife and his best friend
The gold band around his finger
says this should never begin
The longing she sees in his eyes
has her trapped inside his gaze
each of them knows the slightest touch
could set both of them ablaze
The music flows through their bodies
as they walked across the floor
both of their hearts are hammering
they know they should not want more
They’re tiptoeing on a highwire
and lord each one of them knows
the slightest slip and the hunger
will consume both of their souls
The moment that their bodies touch
tells them one thing is for sure
the fire of lust has consumed them
and for that there is no cure
When the game is lust and passion
there’s a different set of rules
and when beer gets mixed with whiskey
you’ll always end up the fool
