You are a devil who looks like a human but talks like an angel I’m a pretty blue-eyed girl for which you are the living proof You swept me off my feet But I deserve a guy who encourages me to stand A guy who will let me lean, instead of knocking me down, telling me it’s an act of love I did not know love could be other than face value So, when I got your check, I was surprised it came with ownership Now I just feel sorry for you Your mind will always be squarer than your jaw Your soul darker than your eyelashes Your resentment will always seep through your bones and manifest as hair on your skin You can try and shave it down But it will keep coming back – dark and seemingly multiplying
