Inveigle Me Baby
You had me going Ms Lady I must say
Played me in every conceivable way...
Up...down....side to side....round & round
Had me feeling as if I were doing flips while standing on solid ground
Hmm...You were good...nah, scratch that, you are good
Good at manipulation, you and your narcissistic ways
Great at fucking up seconds, minutes, hours, hell, whole sunny days
Your attempts to win me back are futile...
My panacea with you...is to get away, miles....by miles...by miles...
What did I do to deserve this?
Don’t get me wrong, I know the answer, but I want to hear your rationale and justification for being who you are?
Oh...this should be good....I wonder if I have the "Inveigle Me Baby" look on my face...I doubt it....but hey....
Oh snap, she's going for the "looking down at the ground, with the expression of death and remorse on her face" face...she's going for gusto.
As I stand here...in my mind I’m screaming, "Go ahead yo!" but my external demeanor is as cool as the 14th of January near Lake Michigan...She starts with...."I just...I don’t know...baby I...."
You can stop right there....you see, the left side and right side of your brain are doing a dance in search of answers...yet, I don’t hear any music
I'll tell you how things are how they are...
You’re a Vain, Myopic, Neurotic, and Caustic girl posing as a woman...you would not know love, commitment, honor or sacrifice if it walked up and said hello I’m all of the aforementioned...yet you wanted to walk with my heart in tow?
See, I’m okay now, because you taught me what NOT to look for in love, and its okay, because this moment of jackassery was needed to discover the real he, who is searching for the real she. So I want to say thank you mami...thank you for fake loving me, fake needing me, for all the fakes ...without you, I'd never know what to look for when I do decide to look for real love....thank you for being that lady, thank you for the Inveigle Baby.
