The Pool of Love
Some people find the pool of love
And decided to dive right in
Before testing the temperature
To see if it's warm enough to swim
Some people lather themselves up
Just to lay out in the sun
As they watch all the others frolic
Wishing they could join in on the fun
Some pools are rather murky
So you must keep and eye on the sharks
Shallow or deep they'll take you off at the knees
For a closer advantage to tear out your heart
If you step out of the pool
After a swim in the deep end
Could you play the part of a wading fool
And jump right back in again
With no life guard on duty
To blow the whistle when you've had enough
You best be careful when you swim
In the pool of love
