How do I resist thee?



It all started as a form of wild entertainment,
But you became a habit — that's not an understatement
Within a fraction of a second, you've made me feel
That my world could change for the better and seal this fun deal

Oh I never thought you would be so cruel
It just hit me when you use my desires as fuel
You are a temptation that's hard to avoid
Need to stop you right away or else I'll be destroyed

If only I have the answer to that mind-boggling question
I wouldn't hesitate and quickly use the solution
'Til then you and me will meet like lovers every single day
Even though being with you means there's a high price to pay
