You want me to believe in you. <br />In everything you may say and do. <br />But when you almost touch my trust... <br />There is something that you do, <br />That messes that up. <br /> <br />You do a slick sliding done on alibis. <br />Thinking I will stoop for duping. <br />And this you try! <br />I've had enough of ifs and buts. <br />Dressed and hidden behind a disguise. <br /> <br />You deceive me with increasing ease. <br />As if to do it is okay with me. <br />You expect me not to question at all, <br />Your whereabouts without a telephone call. <br /> <br />You deceive me with increasing ease. <br />As if to do it is okay with me. <br />You do a slick sliding done for fun. <br />But let me tell you baby I am not the one. <br /> <br />You want me to believe in you. <br />In everything you may say and do. <br />But when you almost touch my trust... <br />There is something that you do, <br />That messes that up. <br /> <br />I've had enough of your ifs and buts. <br />Pack your bags fast and don't shuffle a strut. <br />I'm use to you thinking quick on your feet! <br />But save your innocence it isn't working on me.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
