I won't pretend
I'm on your side
as opposed to my own.

There will be no exhibition
of my Sunday manners;

Strings are most definitely attatched,
and there are pages -
no, there are chapters -
of fine print

but the title reads like this:

I want you.

I'm through playing nice -
no more blushing
or beating around whatever.

There will be no withholding here;
I want the sweet parts
and the wicked parts
and the parts you so industriously work to conceal;

I make the rules here
and withholding is definitely not allowed.

So just be a good boy
and resign yourself -

because I'm on my side
and my side always wins;

It's in the rules.
