What's it like to be like you
With all those heads turning
In the sea of envy you sail through

Spreading waves of yearning?

I can't rise above it all alas.

I want you too; I'm sure that's clear as glass.
I'm not that easy but you're irresistible.


Is it like a siege to be
Pinned by all those eyes?
With relentless scrutiny

Top to toe they fantasize.

Even the blind swoon when they smell you

But none of us would ever dare to tell you.
It can't be easy to be irresistible.


There's a certain luxury
In feeling it can never be.
All of us around you glow

With the knowledge that we'll never know your touch
Wanting it so much--
But fearing it would take us too high then

We'd never get back home again.

How's it feel to stop and stare

At the throng before you
And know that if you spot your equal there
They already adore you?


Or is it better when they're uglier than you
So that they're not only willing but kind of grateful too?

If that'll do I find you irresistible.
