Analysis of Your eyes
I won't be mesmerized
When I look into your eyes
I won't lose time and space
When I look into your face
I'll see whats really there
A man who can not care
Who really uses plays
To trap the nearest prey
This too I know
I must be cold
To keep free of your hold
Your eyes won't plunder me
I know your wares are cheap
