about

Beauty can be intimidating.

lyrics

Excuse

It’s hard to open up for fear of being hurt
Pain walks by to two slim legs beneath a miniskirt
Thought of her affection brings a strong man to his knees
Can you just imagine what her glance can do to me?

I can only dream about this slice of rare perfection
She would surely shoot me down and crush me with rejection
Even if I could hide my desperation
She would see right through without hesitation

Because the flesh is willing, but the spirit’s weak
Lust or love on a losing streak
Bared my soul, wanna take a peak?
The flesh is willing but the spirit’s weak


Can’t hide my intent from her x-ray vision
Might as well slink off and avoid her derision
My self-confidence her smile evaporated
Trying to be cool but the act is simulated

At a loss for words, they been confisticated
Wear my heart upon my sleeve, soon to be mutilated
She will grab it, rip it up, and throw it on the floor
Stomp it, turn upon her heel, and walk right out the door

Because the flesh is willing, but the spirit’s weak
Lust or love on a losing streak
Bared my soul, wanna take a peak?
The flesh is willing but the spirit’s weak

You may think I’m paranoid but from experience
I can guarantee what I’m saying makes perfect sense
It is human nature for these feelings to emerge
Fight or flight is the instinct, you can resist the urge

Because the flesh is willing, but the spirit’s weak
Lust or love on a losing streak
Bared my soul, wanna take a peak?
The flesh is willing but the spirit’s weak

The flesh is willing but the spirit’s weak


The flesh is willing, but the spirit's weak
