i know what you wanna hear.
i know the voice you want it said in--
quiet, needy, acquiescent,
dark with gravel and lust.
i know what words you want,
words that sound like secrets
or admission,
words that let you climb in
and curl up inside my skin.
i know what body language you want,
hips forward, eyes lowered,
bite your lip for conviction's sake.
i know what you wanna hear,
how can you trust me to say it?
you want your girl practiced,
trained, experienced,
but innocent, honest, truthful.
you want your girl tamed?
i tell that lie too.
