Like sugar, and honey,
And all that we like,
I tried to resist, but,
Oh, what a fight!

Between me and the devil
Inside me that longs
For wipe out the difference
Between rights and wrongs.

How did it happen?
Didn't we just meet?
And the next thing we know -
A kiss, so sweet!

Gentle, and tender,
Our lips met - then parted.
I guess that's how
It all got started.

A gentle hug,
A fond caress.
A glimmer of hope
For more happiness.

It happened in a minute
It seems so fast
Just the two of us -
Like players in a cast.

On the stage of life,
Drawn together, not apart -
By forces unknown
It seems right from the start

Where will it lead?
Heaven knoes, I don't care.
If he calls me I'll answer -
If he want's, I'll be there.

Till we reach the end
Be it good, be it bad.
Whatever the outcome
It's more than we've had.
