Tender flowers bloom in my soul...
Gently... pluck them for yourself
I am the flower that bloomed just for you
On every petal... an unknown fragrance
With just a glance...
Gently pluck my soul and take it with you
I was born only for you
Just for your touch...
I blossomed into a woman
For you... I have ripened
For you... I took on this body
Did I do great penance to sleep on your lap?
Did I?
Will he embrace me in a moment and steal my youth?
Will he?
Will he burn me like fire in the embers of passion?
Will he?
Will he set me adrift like a boat in a whirlpool of kisses?
Will he?
Because of you...
My soul froze still
A little frozen
A little melted
A little lost
Because of you... my soul froze still
Knowingly and unknowingly
Will you do all kinds of things to me? Will you?
Will you tell me... will you?
Will you kill me with love right now? Will you?
