Body

I remember when it was
an adventure to cross the street
when being young meant having fun
and getting under peoples' feet

a few years on and the fear is gone
we played chicken with the cars
in the summertime we pitched our tents
and camped under the stars
we looked up at the sky above
was it then friendship turned to love?

looking back, I was so confused
and I wonder, was it the same for you?

I don't know what's happening to me
you're the subject of this controversy
most of the time, I was pure as the driven snow
but other times, I hate myself
because all I want to know is
your body

she said:
"I remember when you moved
into our neighborhood
we broke all the rules that they set at school
and didn't it feel good?"

dodging fares, we had no cares
as we traveled on the bus
sharing stolen sweets
we put our feet on the seats in front of us
on the way to school we began to hold hands
was it then I started making my plans?

looking back, I was so confused
and I wonder, was it the same for you?

she said:
"I don't know what's gotten into me
you're the subject of this controversy
most of the time, I was pure as the driven snow
but there's times I hate myself
because all I want to know is
your body..."
