Analysis of Love or Lust?

Latin X 1967 (Philadelphia)



Love and lust
Which do you trust?
Love is a must.
Trust or lust?
To lust you I’ve got to trust you.

To love me there must be intimacy.
With love and intimacy you can lust over me.

Lust is temporary.
Love has longevity.
When you get to know me,
Love the inner me you can lust over me,

I love you
I trust you
I lust for you
I’ll never lose you
