Why do we say "no" when we mean "yes ...?"
How can we leave love to just a second guess ?
We look so far and wide when love's often near
And talk in circles like some hell's to fear

Then, what can it be - when you're tempting me ...
Parody?  Is it just parody?
 

How do we joke about our urgent needs
How can we leave chance to the choice it breeds
We seek all thru life when everything's right here
Where satisfaction equals having no fear

Then, what can it be when you're tempting me ...
Parody?  Is it parody?
 

Why do we joke about realistic urgent needs ?
Pain's the mental torture - the anguish this breeds
We all lose out claiming "sister" or "brother"
Then leaving it up to each other ...

What can it be - when you're tempting me ...
Parody?  Is it parody?

What can this be when you're tempting me ...
Parody?  Is this just parody?

Parody?   Is this just parody?
