The Lady In Red
She had a secret
Which her lips wont tell
But her eyes will

She had a Man
Standing by her side
He touched her
She didn’t resist
But her eyes will
She sipped on a drink
Her taste didn’t resist
But her eyes will
She was dragged to dance
Her feet wont resist
But her eyes will

The Lady In Red
She had a secret
Which her lips wont tell
But her eyes will

She looked at me
Her heart would resist
But her eyes wont
She wanted to run away
Which her toes would resist
But her eyes wont
She wanted to confide in a friend
Which her voice would resist
But her eyes wont

The Lady In Red
She had a secret
Which her lips wont tell
But her eyes will

She had a favor to return
which explains her compulsions
She would have been a teacher
But She was with him
Fulfilling his fantasies
Smiling while she did so
Even if she didn’t want to

What amazes her truly
Was that the world didn’t care
Even though it knew
But I did care
And would that make any difference
To the Lady In Red ?
