A Ride With the Devil

"You've touched my heart and it altered every plan I've made..." - Jennifer Lopez

I know you want to take me for a ride
My senses are telling me I should run and hide
I know how you are cunning and so very sly
I can always tell by the look in your eye
 
My temptation is tested because I’d like to know
Where would you take me and where we would go?
Somewhere we have been once before
Or someplace new you want to explore?
 
I hesitate before I agree to your request
Saying yes to you hasn’t always worked out the best
It’s like riding with the devil with a lingering thrill
Yet my heart flutters with a rush and a haunting chill
 
I know you want to take me for a ride
I just wonder if you’ll take me over to the far side
Too far to come back if my heart tells me so
My instinct tells me that it’s a mistake to go
 
You are very clever my friend
So much so you think I will bend
The silence I would have to pretend
The wounds I would have to mend
My virtue I would have to defend
 
A ride with you would be the end
Oh how the temptation spins in my mind
Of all the things I would have to leave behind
For one ride with the devil that lingers in me
Even with thoughts of you: we would never be.
