Slithery man

You're a slithery man...
Your daddy blessed you  
with all the good looks  
Lots of woman are available to drool
They grab at you constantly and miss
You convinced them  
you are solid somehow,
You're their pretend man
But your problem is
You are just too good to be true
You're a kind of temptation
A fantasy for us to look at but not touch
If we clutch you, your guts slime away from our hopeful grasp
 
You think of yourself rich
You got a sophisticated kind of hip
You wear all the latest trends
to attract our looks
You got all kinds of sexy moves  
To impress every lady at the club downtown
Your always preoccupied looking for your next sweet pick up lines
Leering around.
Lines for a lonely girl
 broken records you scored  
Lines stuffed secretly into fortune cookies
Lines rolled up into the expensive cigarettes you puff
Lines you practice in front of tall mirrors
Making your looks more attractive
You got a ready script  
written that you rehearse
It's on your top dresser drawer
It's wrinkled and torn
 with aged letdowns
 
Your second job,  
you've earned your charm
From all the ladies you've deceived  
Your a actor on cue
Just a little flirt of charm from you
And you can melt
Every wondering lady's heart
Your like a light bulb
So hot it can sizzle red
Red faced, like all your demon admirers
Who play hide and seek
With your forbidden lust
 
Lust, that a lonely girl
Can easily win and break free of
But you won't be taken
For granted
By your mysterious crew
Demons mock you
At every love attempt you make
You're quick to put them back  
In their place
