Analysis of NASTY OLD PRICK
Staring into your beautiful brown eyes
Hypotized with no place to hide
Sparks ignite and love at first sight
Surely her eyes are burning so bright.
Let's get to know one another
Even so, do we even bother?
Knowing me ... knowing you
Even so, do we even like one another?
I want to hold you endlessly in my arms
Caress you tenderly and to protect you from harm
Over all, I want to know what makes you tick
At times I may act like a nasty old prick.
