in my defence

hillier

A man is talking to me
We're at my brother's party
I know what trust is - the key for us
But he's a charmer
And you are elsewhere
I take precautions
if little caution sometimes

His eyes are understanding
His words are gentle to me
He has a girlfriend at home, he says

It's not my background
to be unsound
It's wrong to have him
In my defence I say this
I love the things you show me
I love the way you hold me
I love the fact that you're not here tonight

so
I'll take the gamble
because I'm able
And no I'm not proud
to hope that you won't find out

His hands are moving closer
My blushing cheeks are over
Everyone knows our names

In my defence, I'm human
In my defence, I'm stupid
And if for this I lose you
in my defence, I love you

In my defence, I love you
