The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same? My body is forlorn We should have played it safe Wake up beside you to see you naked And my heart is throbbing in your hands No one else could imagine the love we make You’re the only woman who understands But as I orgasm I come to the realization That you’re forever gone And I can’t go on The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same?

The things you did to please me Your sultry lips, your leather tights But after the sensation You come to the realization That you were fantasizing about someone else While we were having sex The Lust Has Gone Will it ever feel the same? My body is forlorn We should have played it safe No man or woman could ever come between us I’m no boytoy and you’re not a whore So let’s get back to our sensual sex Please come walking back through that door.
