SHAMELESS

When do you plan to leave me?
When will you walk away?
A week or two … or longer
Maybe you’ll leave today.

How long have you been seeing her?
Is she waiting patiently
For you to break the news to me
Then leave me shamelessly?

Does she know….that you make love to me
Almost every night?
How would she feel if she knew
Or saw us here tonight?

A life long opportunist
A player through and through
Taking what’s available
It’s what you always do.

Like a street wise junkie
Always looking for a fix
Someone to get off on
It’s how you get your kicks.

Not one to be suspicious
You took me by surprise
I bought all of your promises
Believed all of your lies.

Now you plan to leave me
There’s nothing I can do
Doesn’t matter what I feel
Or how much I love you.

STOP BULLYING ME

Stop pressuring, stop bullying
Back up ….you’re in my way
I’m doing what I want to do
Don’t tell me what to say.

Do what you want, I’m not your clone
Do things all on your own
Stop demanding that I come along
Leave me the hell alone.

Stop blaming me, stop shaming me
You don’t have the right
To belittle and look down on me
To instigate a fight.

You never learn, at it again
Been down this road before
Over and… over and…over again
Always wanting  more.

THE SUPREMES:

A NIGHT OF PASSION

A night of lustful passion
Not a moment I regret
Lying here all alone
You know I can’t forget.

You left just before sunrise
You didn’t say goodbye
Guess it doesn’t matter
All the  many reasons why.

No lies or explanations
Before walking out the door
Quietly you slipped away
Just like you’ve done before.

Is there a book of etiquette
Appiled to sex for hire?
I  don’t think you’ve read it
Maybe you were too tired.

The money on the table
Should probably suffice
That extra hundred dollars
For me…. is awfully nice.

A night of lustful passion
Not a moment I regret
Lying there alone with you
A night I won’t forget.

AT THE BAR

Don’t come to me with tears in your eyes
Pretend you’re sorry then say goodbye
I’ve seen that look on your face before
Never enough, you always want more.

Where’d you meet … THE TIKI BAR?
Did you makeout …. out in your car?
Ask her to dance, give her that wink
Offer to buy her another cold drink?

All that charm …. good for a while
Who can resist that look, that smile?
You pull them in …you get your way
You got it down, know what to say.

Broken hearts…. not 3 or 4
Maybe twenty, maybe more
Always chasing some sweet thing
While someone else waits in the wings.

Once you’re sure to have your way
You’ll plan out your getaway
She’ll be crying….you won’t care
You won’t change…. you don’t play fair.

You’ll come along… tears in your eyes
Pretend you’re sorry then say goodbye
I’ve seen you act this way before
It’s never enough, you’ll always want more.

TRUE COLORS

Incendiary accusations
Send chills straight up my spine
Feelings you’ve been harboring
Have been there all the time.

The rage, the hurt, the anger
Intended …meant for me
Have now finally surfaced
True colors openly.

Innocent, no malice
I’ve loved you, no regrets
Why is it so damn easy
For you to just forget?

Vindictive, cold and boorish
You turned your back on me
I didn’t see this coming
Never thought that you would be

So unkind, so mean, so cruel
Seething with revenge
Never saw that side of you
It makes me want to cringe.

No remorse, guilt or shame
Who knew you felt this way?
So arrogant, above reproach
Making sure I pay.

Judge and jury, you decide
No one makes mistakes
Passing judgement, sentencing
Your right… for heaven’s sake.

CYNDI LAUPER: TRUE COLORS

A BURNING DESIRE

Feeling your touch
Was never enough
Consumed, over come
Can’t help…but succumb.

The scorch of desire
The heat of this fire
Has blackened and charred
Left lingering scars.

But, can’t stop myself
For me… no one else
The moment surreal
The probing hot steel.

Nothing more on my mind.
Can’t you see? I am blind
My eyes closed, still dark
The friction, the sparks.

Igniting the lust
That fuels this deep crush
Too hot to control
My body… my soul.

CHRIS ISSAC…… WICKED GAME

JUSTIFIED

You turn your back, you walk away
You cover up your tracks
No second thoughts of empathy
Or reason to turn back.

The underlying anger
The seething rage within
The need to feel empowered
The constant drive to win.

You listen for the slip up
A reason, justified
Quick to severe all the ties
If one does not comply.

Walking through a landmine
Be careful, watch your step
Waiting for a reason
A reason to forget.

Written off so easily
Guess I saw it coming
Not a brand new concept
Was something you’ve been wanting.

You’ve shut me out, turned me away
Love comes with strings attached
It’s never unconditional
You will see to that.

Not new or unexpected
You’ve done this all before
You pride yourself on being cold
You’ve locked and closed the door.

A LOVE SONG

Stuck in the groove
Still wanting you
So hurt, ashamed
What can I do?

Drowning in
A pool of fear
I’m never getting
Out of here.

Needing to
Come up for air
Facing that
You just don’t care.

Lost it all
The day we met
I try so hard
But, can’t forget.

Years of torment
Paralyzed
Could not believe
Believe my eyes.

Watched you walk
Right out the door
Leaving me
Still wanting more.

Stuck in the groove
While you moved on
Can’t stop playing
This old sad song.

LOCKED OUT

Barricades and padlocks
Chain linked around my heart
Once inside, the damage done
My world was torn apart.

No bartering or pleading
It’s there ….written on the wall
Don’t come any closer
Looks like you’re going to fall.

Finally got your number
No longer next in line
That train has left the station
Looks like I’ve changed my mind.

Well passed the point of no return
There’s nothing left to do
Got tired of playing second best
Got tired of wanting you.

The tricks and magic potions
That made me lose my mind
Brought me down to my knees
But, now ….I’m feeling fine.

Barricades and padlocks
Up ahead… the road is blocked
You’re no longer welcome here
That door’s been shut, it’s locked.

WILLFUL IGNORANCE

In the midst of this pandemic
We are taking a vacation
No thought of risks or germs
No cures or vaccinations.

Not going to take precautions
No masks or latex gloves
Ignoring all the warning signs
They’re just not meant for us.

We’ll do our thing, no worries
We ‘re not the least bit scared
Not thinking about the droplets
That linger in the air.

We feel fine , no symptoms
No coughing and no fever
You’ll see…. we’re going to be just fine
Just ask that Old Grim Reaper!

No hospital or ICU
Like I said, we’re having fun
We don’t believe in science
Microscopes or medicine.

Defiant and oppositional
My views are fixed and strong
I live in a state of ignorance
No one dares to prove me
wrong.
