Head held high as he strolls in the room Expensive smile, aimed and fired at you Fawning over this fetching facade that was carefully crafted to woo A spark in his eyes as he offers a light, A smile, and a place to stay for the night All that he's out for is a story to tell All that I'm here for is you All these lascivious city boys, how am I to compete? My tongue isn't silver; it's tied and it's cheap I can't offer you anything but honesty And honestly, you could do so much better than me He offers a drink in exchange for your time He's breathing in sync, spewing well-rehearsed lines Calm and detached, his charm is intact And you don't seem perturbed by the slime What he won't tell you is the second you're gone He picks out another vic, quickly moves on The same precise patter, in minutes he has her Absorbed by his saccharine guise All these lascivious city boys, how am I to compete? My tongue isn't silver; it's tied and it's cheap I can't offer you anything but honesty And honestly, you could do so much better than All these lascivious city boys
