Theif


They say they want the tanner covering But not the darkest of night They say they want the curvy body But only when the girl is light Darling can't you see, They only love your culture They say they want the forehead jewel But not the religional torture. They scream big lips are beautiful But only when accompanied by the palest of skin They'll search for the details of you But not for the beauty within.
