Love Get The Best of Me
Jamal Upshaw 1954 (NYC)
A smile, like a siren, my defenses disarm,
Love's sweet persuasion, a captivating charm.
Logic surrenders, swept away by the tide,
Reason takes a backseat, emotions my guide.
Whispers of forever, paint futures so bright,
I chase after dreams, bathed in love's golden light.
Will I lose myself, in this passionate quest?
Can love conquer all, yet put my heart to the test?
But a fire too fierce can consume and destroy,
Is love's wild embrace, a beautiful ploy?
I surrender with caution, a bittersweet plea,
Love, get the best of me, but leave the best of me.
