THE TEASER
(T. Beechey)
When I catch her eye,she shrugs and grins but it's all a lie and so it begins
She knows I'm hers from moment one and,when she purrs,alongside I'll run
And I know it's an act,a hill I can't climb and she knows for a fact I'll play every time
Always fully aware I'm going to lose but the chance was there for me to choose
To pass or play and I didn't think twice
But you can't say I should pay the price
And accept the blame for what she did
I wouldn't have came if she hadn't bid
When I look her way,she smiles and winks --- it's a game she plays,she wants me to think
I might have a chance to call her my own but,as hours advance,I'm still alone
And I know it's a game I can never win and I feel ashamed when I play it again
And again and again with the same result but I don't think it can be all my fault
I've been strung along like a fish on a hook
You can't call me wrong for just taking a look
She set the trap and I took the bait
But should I take the rap for this act of hate?
She's a teaser,you can't please her...for her,it's never enough
I swear it frees her and decrees her,why else would she do this stuff?
It thrills her and instills her to do it and do it some more
It fills her and wills her strength she never had before
It allows her the power to manipulate and control
And it wows her as he devours each droplet of a soul
You can't appease her,she'll take a geezer or any punk who think he's tough
She's a teaser,you can't please her...for her,it's never enough
When our glances meet,she purses her lips ---my heart starts to beat so fast that it skips
I'm right in her palm so safe and warm,but this isn't a calm before a storm
It's all pretend,just make-believe and,in the end,all that I'll achieve
Is a broken heart and a shattered dream,but she's as much part as I in this scheme
She gave me false hope and dragged me behind
Like a dog on a rope --- she clouded my mind
With thoughts and desires that weren't to claim
And,upon my soul's fires,she iced each flame
She's a teaser,you can't please her...for her,it's never enough
I swear it frees her and decrees her,why else would she do this stuff?
It thrills her and instills her to do it and do it some more
It fills her and wills her strength she never had before
It allows her the power to manipulate and control
And it wows her as he devours each droplet of a soul
You can't appease her,she'll take a geezer or any punk who think he's tough
She's a teaser,you can't please her...for her,it's never enough
We all know her kind and have stories to share,they're not hard to find cause they're everywhere
In every bar wherever there's men,you don't have to go far till you see her again
And when you do,you'll know her plan...it's nothing new to any man
You'll know the look,the glance,the wink and how your checkbook's gonna steadily sink
You'll know all of this and you'd be a fool
To even peek at that miss sitting on the next stool
But,of course,you will every chance you get
Or,at least,until she knows you're in debt
