The Appeal

What is it about you

That has me wild and willing

Up to the ceiling

I'd make a killing

If it paid to love you

 

You have a charm to yourself

Like no other man

And isn't that your plan

Gaining groupies and fans

Cause that's how you do

 

You tread this earth 

Trading whistles for a kiss 

It would seem you never miss

An opportunity, a trip

With someone new

 

How long before you want

To come back around

To these trusted grounds

Where affection abound

And the passion is true

 

What is it that you have

That draws me near

No matter the fear

No matter how clear

That we should be through

 

I guess I won't know

Til the appeal wears off

Gently and soft

Then it can be tossed

Right on cue
