Your Better Side
Only show your better side. She doesn't want the rest.
Dearth and defect smartly hide.
She only wants your best.
Only show your finer side. He doesn't want the rank.
New and naked smartly hide.
He only wants your swank.
Only show your sweeter side. She doesn't want the plea.
Angst and anger smartly hide.
She only wants your glee.
Only show your warmer side. He doesn't want the chill.
Frost and frigid smartly hide.
He only wants your thrill.
Only show your nicer side. She doesn't want the mate.
Hell and hatred smartly hide.
She only wants your slate.
Only show your kinder side. He doesn't want the shove.
Push and pressure smartly hide.
He only wants your love.
