it's hard to trust a pretty girl
when she looks me in the eyes
cause every pretty girl I've known
has been so good at telling lies
it's hard to trust a pretty boy
when he takes me by the hand
cause every pretty boy I've known
has been a wolf disguised as a lamb
there are several things I'm learning
in my solitary youth
like words can have two meanings
but our bodies tell the truth
though clumsy and uncouth
our bodies tell the truth
there's something in the way she moves
that pulls me in and won't let go
if only I could break the spell
I'd stand my ground and tell her no
she whispers softly in my ear
he lays his hand upon my knee
she says the things I want to hear
he knows he can get anything he needs
yes she's blessed with symmetry but
she won't make a fool of me
