5. Reluctantly
I find it hard sticking to my scruples with you around
Baiting bards by staring with those pupils brand new and brown
Make it hurt and make haste
Just keep me guessin’
To chase skirts or stay chaste—
That is the question
In summer-hued majestic dreams
I’d fancy you in rustic scenes
You stage a coup seductively
I’m stuck on you… reluctantly
I had been listenin’ to angels on my shoulder
When lithest limbs glisten in the sun of July, that’s over
Make it hurt and make haste
With secret weapons
To chase skirts or stay chaste--
That is the question
In summer-hued majestic dreams
I’d fancy you in rustic scenes
You stage a coup seductively
I’m stuck on you… reluctantly
In summer-hued majestic dreams
I’d fancy you in rustic scenes
You stage a coup seductively
It’s déjà vu. It’s crushing me
Hey miss sultry sophomore stunner
Gorgeous in a thrift store number
I’m guessing it is no small wonder
I’m losing my cool
But it just don’t embarrass me
That I would somewhat merrily
-- Even voluntarily --
Be made your fool
