My Interests

Listen, 4 u naked I will dance a ballet. Would that get u off? Tell me what will. If I was your girlfriend would u tell me? Would u let me see you naked then? Would u let me give u a bath? Would u let me tickle u so hard u'd laugh and laugh. And would u... would u let me kiss u there? U know, down there where it counts. I'll do it so good I swear I'll drink every ounce. Then I'd hold u tight and hold u long and together we'll stand the silence. And we'll try to imagine what it looks like. Yeah. We'll try to imagine what... what silence looks like. Yeah. We'll try to imagine what silence looks like. Yeah. We'll try-
