This song is a look back at a wild relationship I had when I was young. I was a fool for her beauty, and she used me but like Bill Withers said, "If it feels this good gettin' used well, you just keep on using me ... until you use me up!"
|
She had eyes the color of water
She had hair the color of wind
And experience had taught her
How to get away with sin
And the games you thought you'd taught her
Were just games you could not win
And you never learn your lesson
Till she's walking out the door
And you barely can remember
Just what you forgave her for
And she could've been pure evil
I'd have loved her just the same
I am such a fool for beauty
I have just myself to blame
In the night, her tender kisses
In the night, my soft guitar
And, I thought "Love must be what this is
And, it's pretty good so far"
But, sometimes your mind dismisses
What a fool you really are
(chorus)
It all came clear when it was time for us to part
I touched your body, but I never touched your heart
(chorus)
