His eyes gaze at you longingly.
His heart beats firm and fast.
He says he’s yours eternally—
You know, kid, this won’t last.
He melts your heart of stone
With words as clear as glass.
He’s yours and yours alone—
You know, kid, this won’t last.
He admits there was another.
Did you really have to ask?
His arms reach under your covers—
Oh well, what’s past is past!
