In My Back Pocket Karen Torbiak 2000 You’d never guess to see me that I keep on safely hidden but always too close for comfort He makes sure I’ll never be free I tried to keep him under lock and key but he throws such a fit enough to get the neighbors in a tizzy So I have to let him out you see He works hard to get me in a mess causing trouble everywhere I go bring stares and anger in my direction With loud words to make me confess He is such a little fellow you’d think he’d do no harm but you should heart the jokes he tells all to make you hurt and angry How I wish I had control of him maybe some magic charm He only stands three inches high and likes the free ride he gets as I carry him around the town I watch the glowing wicked gleam in his eye He whispers to me the fun of sin telling me there is no one to know and he would never tell a soul But I know with him I’ll never win He tells me its just to have some fun no one will ever be hurt just some wild oats to sow I am sure I’m not the only one He smiles and says we’ll party tell dawn flirt with all the cute men take one home to have some fun Then forget about him when he’s gone He knows when I am lonely I can see him wink then tell me to just listen to him and I’ll feel right as rain Sometimes I start to lean in close then I’ll have to blink I guess I am just stuck with him tempting me both day and night to stray away from all I know And gently lead me into sin How I wish I could put him in a chest and very tightly lock it I’d never have to hear his taunts again or feel tempted to do the things he says This silly, wicked little IMP I keep deep in My Back Pocket Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.

Use to blame many a game on my favored little imp manys the time he'd come by walking with a gimp... come with me, he'd say aloud I could hear him through the crowd come and play all night long and to us the night belonged... now my imp's grown older, but still so gleefully smiles when I serve him up a laugh and we'll walk still many a mile... |
