Verse

You know you look fabulous.

You know we're all in awe.

You see you have an audience.

You'll take your curtain call.

You're so smooth, so slick, so subtle.

No spy is quite as sly.

Your disguise, your intentions

Are crafts of fine design.

Chorus

You tame us, you shame us.

We're all so naive.

When someone's beautiful

We want to believe.

Verse

Your lips recite their poetry.

It's music to our ears.

Yes you know all our vanities.

The songs we like to hear.

It's a game of smoke and mirrors.

A game you know you'll win.

Yes beauty has it's benefits

And we all have our sins.

Chorus

You tame us you shame us.

We're all so naive.

When someones beautiful

We want to believe.

Bridge

You've got a way with conversation.

You know what to say.

You've got a way with persuasion.

When you want your way.

The mirror doesn’t lie
Proven by your audience
That sly well practiced smile
Has them all convinced

Self indulged by nature
Claim virtue by disguise
Beholden by beauty
Exalted by the blind

Hearts are just possessions 
So easily deceived 
For beauty has no guile
What a thing to believe

Funny you saw it as being about beautiful, crafty women, Tony. I read it as beautiful, crafty people. lol

Also funny was that as I read it, the melody that I read it to was a slower version of Moby's, Extreme Ways. double lol

Enjoyed that Carroll

Hey, I guess I'm old school lol... it’s not a man’s job to be beautiful. "Like a man’s pride, a woman’s vanity knows no bounds..." ?

Lol.... Don’t believe the hype! Just because nobody is homophobic anymore, and "other than" sexuality is now mainstream in all the media, doesn’t mean everyone is "switch hitting"....... Or does it? ?

I sure the hell hope not. TV sure pushes that as an agenda.

I know, right! It’s already become formulaic and cliche... In the first episode of any series l make a mental note now of who I think is going to "SURPRISE" me...

The couples or should i say hookups are almost always involve mixed races .  I've nothing against it but another agenda being pushed. Of course the industry is dominated by liberals.

Oh Lord..... You’re just trying to get me started aren’t you Carroll? I'm so over the "Jungle Fever" thing.... The whole South/East is now overrun with tattooed, pissed-off, single white moms!

Nothing sexier than a threehundred pounder in a crop top and tight shorts with tattoos that would make Salvador Dali look like a realist.
