The Beast Within Me

Steve Helmer

I'm a mild-mannered person

Who's almost as innocent as a boy scout.

But, when I'm around you, there's a beast within me

That is constantly trying to get out.

I'm not a social person

I'm actually quite shy.

But you're like a magic potion

That turns this Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde.

I don't know what it is about you.

Perhaps it's your fruit-flavored chap stick .

But, when I kiss you

I just want to feast upon your lips.

I was raised to be polite to women

Treat them with respect and modesty

But, when I see that body of yours

I just want to tear your clothes off and pull you toward me.

Perhaps I'm just not as innocent

Or as nice as of a guy as I hoped to be.

All I know is, when I see your beauty

It brings out the beast within me.
