Tease and Turn

She gives a glance then turns away A half-smile thrown to make me stay One night she's warm the next she's cold A story that's been bought and sold I reach for her she pulls her hand She loves to watch me try to stand A whisper sweet a push aside She takes my breath and steals my pride Tease and turn burn and yearn She loves the game I'll never learn Hot and cold bought and sold A heart of ice a hand to hold One step close two steps gone She hums a tune and leads me on Round and round lost and found She keeps me dancing on the ground She calls my name when she's alone Then leaves a silence like a stone A touch that feels like it could stay Then swept like dust and blown away I give my all she takes a piece Then watches as my hope decease She knows the power that she holds A story that's been bought and sold Tease and burn turn and yearn She loves the game I'll never learn Hot and cold bought and sold A heart of ice a hand to hold One step close two steps gone She hums a tune and leads me on Round and round lost and found She keeps me dancing on the ground Then I found another soft and true Someone who didn't play the fool A steady hand a warming light She pulled me from the endless night I thought I'd finally broke the chain Forgot the pleasure and the pain But now she's watching from the side A jealous fire she cannot hide She wants me back now that I'm gone A story that's been bought and sold She says my name with pleading eyes But I have seen through all her lies The tables turned the game is through There's nothing left for her to do Tease and turn now watch her yearn She loved the game but I have learned Hot and cold bought and sold Her heart of ice finally folds One step close she's all alone She hums a tune to no one known Round and round she's lost and found I'm done with dancing on her ground She got what she deserved
