You were sad when we met
I held your hand as a friend
It was because a love
Had just come to an end
Slowly but surely
We began to play
I’m not naive
You would often say
Little by little
Our feelings grew
I was quite cautious
But you told me you knew
I worried about this
And asked about that
It was over you said
You weren’t her door mat
Even though I knew better
I soon let myself fall
I was just about ready
To give you my all
Then you came to me
Said she wants to come back
She was sorry she hurt you
And gave you the sack
I knew right away
You had to be sure
Even before you did
I knew there was more
Now I lie here tonight
And recall things you said
How much you looked forward
To sharing my bed
How there were so many things
You loved about me
What I was willing to try
And how things would be
How you never before
Had ever felt like this
And though miles apart
I had felt every kiss
It was I that was foolish
And let myself go
To somewhere I shouldn’t
And had told myself, 'No!'
They say in hindsight
All things are clear
Now I think next time
Will be harder I fear
It’s a very hard lesson
But one that I’ve learned
Keep Lush a fantasy
And you won’t get burned
