Love and Lust
Was it love or was it lust?
That is the question, asked by ourselves we must
This pretty young thang, she thought she was
Was it love or was it lust?
Twisting her pretty hair and battin’ her lashes,
Gracefully resting her hands on her hips
Her head held high and treadin’ so light,
You would think the Heavens spent time
perfecting such a treat.
she thinks she’s in love,
‘Cause of that boy of hers,
Ooo… that boy of hers,
Done made her feel like perfection
And filled her head with all those lies and affection
Um! He don’t want her for her.
Oh no, he don’t.
He been gazing at her body,
And the way she walk,
the way her clothes fit, like a glove…
so nice and tight.
Was it love or was it lust?
she wearing those clothes for his eye
knowing it’s going to get his attention.
So young and naïve
Well… He got her
By telling her all she wanted to hear
And asking her to prove her love
So they lay down
And afterwards…
Hurt, heartbroken, and used, deflowered.
thinking he loved her
she loved him
This pretty young thang… Yea, she was!
Didn’t stop to think, was it love or was it lust?
