Perfume

funny
in all the wrong ways
you've been on my mind
you came crashing in
when she sprayed a hint of perfume
when she reminded me of you
who i've been trying to forget
but i close my eyes and i see
your bed in the night and
a naked you and me
nearly kicked out of a cab
and against your wall your door
conquering your body
forever wanting more
...
a constant craving
i force myself to deny
don't want to remember
when your voice is quiet
i'll never forget
a hint of perfume
and i'm right back in your room
she'll never be you
she won't know about us
she reminded me of something
and now i'm leaving for you.
