Lust is fleeting, Love is forever.
Lust is dumb, Love is clever.
Lust can trick, Love can affirm.
Lust can flee, Love can Squirm.
Lust can ruin, Love can heal.
Lust can break, and Love can Seal.
A way to help, a way to hurt.
A way to forget while you take off your shirt.
So before you give up and bet on lust
remember that it all turns to dust...
At least love sticks around
not just leaving footprints in the sandy ground.
Love will snuggle, Love will hold.
Love will stick with you even when you're old.
Love will work it out, it will come to be.
Lust will blind you so you can't really see...
Love will heal all the scars your heart may have
and lust may try to take a severe stab.
So don't give up on it, Not one bit
or else you'll just be left with shit.
All alone wondering where is the love.
waving and swinging your hands above.
Wondering what you ever did wrong
and wonder for when and how long?
