It's all about me
IT’S ALL ABOUT ME
My secret someone
The flowers, the gifts
Stolen moments
A lingering kiss
The sideways glance
A subtle graze against my hip
Unbridled passion
I bite my lower lip
Lost in fantasy
Expensive lingerie
I’ve been a bad girl daddy
Oh the games we play
The no tell motels
Pacing the floor
Waiting for a message, a phone call
That soft knock on the door
Self-righteous indignation
A last minute change of plans
It’s not always fun
When your secret is a married man
All the excuses
I need passion in my life
Depression and boredom
I’m more than just a wife
The justification
I need to work on me
The love is gone
I’m not the same person I used to be
It’s just physical
Until it’s not
Will I tire of my lover
If I get caught
Broken hearts and homes
That’s a possibility
I take the risk
Because it’s all about me
