Love or Lust
Is it love
Or is it lust
How can you tell
Do you love them
O just the fact
Of being in a spell
With love you're stuck
With lust you're struck
But can you tell them apart
How do you know
If It's in your mind
Or if it's in your heart
With love you'd do
Whatever it took
To take away their frown
With lust all you want
Is to please yourself
Even if it brings them down
It's easy to tell
Between the facts
The difference of lust and love
But how can you tell
Righ off the bat
If it's a puppy or a dove
Love and lust
Lust and love
Can't tell between the two
How can you tell
If it's a stage
Or if it's really true
