Living In Conflict

Living in conflict with original sin
How can I put this, where do I begin?

He's not my man but he is my lover
His wife would be angry should she discover

He comes to me, I don't call on him
It's a given thing, not done on a whim

We were friends, thats how it started
He had us both but from me he parted

He got married and left me alone
He wasn't quite happy so he called me on the phone

He said that he made a big mistake
And to please forgive him and give him a break

He wanted forgiveness and a second chance
He missed the way our bodies could dance

We see each other now and then
I have a big problem, I don't trust men

I sometimes wonder about his wife
If he has her there, why am I still in his life?

Doesn't she make him happy? Doesn't she satisfy?
Why else then with me, did he want another try?

What is she lacking? She doesn't fulfill his need?
Why does he come to me? Is it just lustful greed?

Maybe someday I'll be strong and say no
But I need him in my life so I ride with the flow

I need his touch, I need his kiss
In his arms I find pleasure and carnal bliss

Living in conflict with original sin
When our visit is over, he leaves with a grin.
