I Could Seduce You

I'm waiting for you
there's really nothing else for me to do
I want to love and be loved by you
this is all I want it's true
I could seduce you with steamy words and sexy lines
but that is not who I am anymore, I've done my time and paid all my fines
I want to make you love me for me
not for lust or for my body
the fact that you think I'm beautiful and want to hold me when I cry
is what makes you different then any other guy
I could make you want me bad
but that would only make me sad
I wish you to be different from all the rest
to keep me thinking that you are the best
and not like those who claim to be
show me you love me by not letting me entangle you in my web of seduction, see?
it's one of my defenses, a way to push you away
to see if once the heat is on whether or not you'd stay
but I want to change, I don't want to do this to you
don't let me make it so that we are through
I could seduce you, but I won't I swear
because I don't know what I'd do if I did push you away, who else besides you would be there?
I won't use lust and sex to push you away
instead I'll ignore them and see whether or not you stay
but if you do choose to go
this is away for me to know
that I did nothing wrong
that I didn't once try to lead you on
this is my gift to you
that I won't sabotage us so that we are through
because I love you
and I want you to love me too
