you could thrill them with style you could brush up their pride you'd catch their attention with sweet cautious lies you could conceal your desires from deeds glib was your answer for the love Jones they'd seek you could play out their wishes let them hold you and squeeze you you could bend all the rules where none could defeat you you'd preach out some words like gospel and creed cause you brought lust to the whims they concieved. chorus; oh I had no reason to set true love aside I know I believed in my own state of mind loyal love was there entwined in the space where I rescued you to save you a place. you could fill them with promise you could capture their freedom then purposely leave them and trash up their feelings they brought you dead flowers with a hard liquored catch then you'd blame yourself when they stole your respect. and you'd blank out your mind when you knew they'd be cruel you'd quote from your street sense on triads of fools you couldn't be selective time was your thief but it left you alone to deal with your grief. chorus; oh I had no reason to set true love aside I always believed in my own state of mind loyal love was there entwined in the space where I rescued you to save you a place. |

Being selective is very important in life, now the good or bad is individual choice and bear there respective consequences. Fine writing, Eric. Thoughtful one.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Ambiguous life lead / Playing with fire / Bound to be scorched sooner than later / Life games can be cruel / Sometimes the issuer of that cruelty is bitten themselves / Still . . . / They can be rescued if the but recognize their rescuer . . . . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |
