She’s playing hard to get
from the day you’ve met.
But try to understand
the twisting off her land.
Slow and tender you must proceed.
Just come closer, don’t defeat.
Calm her down, be gentle now.
She will lead you, show you how.
She’s been broken,
hurt and choken.
She’ll never trust,
until she must.
She’ll never let you in,
although she needs you bad.
She doesn’t know how to begin,
it’s driving her mad.
You’re her worst enemy,
lover, true as can be.
You’re her greatest fear,
she only wants you here.
Her defence is going down.
Are you playing?
Don’t take it as an offence:
but are you staying?
She’ll give you more,
you’ll think it’s a dream.
If you can handle,
if you do mean.
