Moonlight and Poses

 

Sweet words can lead a girl astray.

Accept the fact that men will lie

You know full well the reason why.

Some men believe that if they try

 a naïve girl might just give way

Sweet words can lead a girl astray

To men love is game they play

and so they lie to get their way.

Sweet words can lead a girl astray.

 

Any mature woman knows

that men are driven by their lust

 and their sweet words you cannot trust.

The question which she has to pose

Is this a man who I can trust?

 Any mature woman knows

There is no reason to adjust

what she believes unless she must.

Any mature woman knows

 

There comes a time they cant resist.

She knows she’s acting foolishly

 but they surrender easily.

Because their libidos insist

 they explore sexuality

There comes a time they can’t resist.

Deceptive moon light may assist

 surrender of the chastity.

We should excuse them readily.

There comes a time they can’t resist.

 

They blame the moonlight and the man

 deny responsibility

 for their sexuality

Because they are quite sure they can

expect at least some sympathy.

They blame the moonlight and the man.

Perhaps I’m judging unfairly

 but that is how it seems to me.

They blame the moonlight and the man.

 

It takes a woman and a man

 a mutual complicity.

So neither one can be guilt free.

It has been so since time began

 throughout recorded history.

It takes a woman and a man.

Theres little probability

that things will change foreseeably.

It takes a woman and a man.
