Analysis of Beguiled
Lahna was lovely the day
She met her prey
She called you a god
She heard of your money
She called you honey
Down easy street she would trod
Lahna is lovely, today
As you well might say
She pulls you into her arms
You don't smile for long
Singing her song
Beguiled by all her charms
Lahna is my lovely day
As you always say
You didn't see the wink of her eye
So goodbye to all your wishes
Men are enchanted by kisses
Goodbye, my friend, goodbye
