Playing In The Basement

Put some flowers in a vase,

Push them right up to my face.

Say you like the way I smell.

If you have a girlfriend, I can’t tell.

 

But, that’s a good thing.

Keep it hidden.

I don’t play with other women’s kittens.

But, for a little while, I’ll play with you.

Let me tell you, what I want you to do.

Or you tell me. I don’t mind.

After all, it’s quitting time.

 

I’ve been really honest.

And, you’ve been really patient.

After the kids go to sleep, I’ll meet you in the basement.
