Some Woman
by
Thomas Granger
She picks me up and lets me down all in the same breath
She makes me feel more than I can stand
She breaks up little parts of me, almost bored to death
I pay the monkey holding out its hand
My struggle with hormones, which I cannot quite control
Trying hard not to give the go
My pride is overcome by dignity, God rest its soul
Guided by the brooks gentle flow
Wrestle my integrity, trying to break it loose
To free me from the blame for just awhile
Even though I know there's absolutely no excuse
I seem to be a bit lost in denial
I finally gain a grip on my senses, once again
Been in her caresses once before
I don't listen to my body when I'm trying to use my brain
I don't play those foolish games anymore
Bound to get me nowhere, I continue to be bold
Taken in account of my restraint
There isn't any question why I'm left out in the cold
I'm freezing but you won't hear a complaint
