you caught me lingering 
in another girl's
paradise 
the way she paints
the world -- 
I want that in my
life

Emeralds, you should know, 
are renting in her meadow 
with a stroke
beauty lives 
how could I resist
you are Desire 

when it all is said
said and done 
who can Love you
and still be standing 
there's Mary calling
up a storm 
can I take from you
and not keep taking 
naked as day
Gemma follows him 
Does it [bad word] down to
the thing one girl fears
in the night 
is another girl's paradise 

through twists and turns 
Jasmine foxed me
in her grove 
arms filled with
Honeybells, St. Michaels
Sanford Bloods 

"you [bad word] to discover
what you want" 
what i want is not to
want what isn't mine 
"But I am Desire"

when it all is said
said and done
who can Love you and
still be standing
there's Mary calling
up a storm
can I take from you
and not keep taking
naked as day
Gemma follows him
Does it [bad word] down to
the thing one girl fears
in the night
is another
girl's
paradise

Does it [bad word] down to
the thing one
girl fears
in the night
is another girl 
is another girl 
is another girl's paradise
