I get the strong impression
she could whip me in one session
She could keep me up all night and half tomorrow
She could be my death or makin’
givin’ all without the takin’,
and to be with her I’d beg and steal and borrow

She’s a tiger in an urban jungle
She’s wilder than my wildest dreams
She’s a fighter for the cause of free expression
She’s the drug I’ve dared to try,
She’s the heaven in my high,
She’s the ultimate conundrum, my obsession

But there’s something in her diction,
makes for such a contradiction,
like a fruit that looks so perfect, but it’s plastic
She says her man’s a millionaire,
and though he’s got that psycho glare
she suddenly becomes enthusiastic

There’s a girl across the bar,
she’s got pink hair and plays guitar,
she looks at you and lifts you to the ceiling
She doesn’t want the posing guys,
who strut around in their disguise
She needs a man who won’t deny his feelings

She’s a tiger in an urban jungle
She’s wilder than my wildest dreams
She’s a fighter for the cause of free expression
She’s the drug I’ve dared to try,
She’s the heaven in my high,
She’s the ultimate conundrum, my obsession

Bluesy,
I love the way you have with a story, like we are a fly upon your wall. Makes a person want to hang with you until last call. ~L

I'm happy to know you liked this one, Miss Lori.

You may have picked up on the lyrical scent.
I wrote it as a tune, actually.

Remember the little picker with the pink hair?
Yep! I'll bet you could guess her name, too!

Many thanks, doll!

Perfection? Is there really such thing as the perfect person? Hmmm...I'll take a feller who is honest, loving and faithful AND he can bring along all his imperfections too! lol Great writing Bluesy ~ Enjoyed
