Hooks

I was looking for a hook
A nice red one
Straight and then Curvy
To hang my clothes on
Strong and steady
For I had quite a few clothes I wanted to try on
Needed to be sure before I could put them on
I wouldn’t even mind if you had more than one -
Better for me, to try more of my clothes on

I was looking and looking
Every where I could find
A man with a familiar scent on,
With those hooks I so badly wanted to hang my clothes on

Just to get a good look at them you see,
Before I try them on me.
I couldn’t see them clearly enough
If only you could be the man of my dreams ;
The one with all the hooks I need .

When I laid my eyes on you
I readily knew
There was only one thing about you
I could put my finger on -
Baby I knew
From the moment I met you
You were a man I could try my clothes on
Oh, the hooks you had on you!

No wonder I found you so hard to resist
The thought of finally getting a good look at myself,
I mean my clothes, haha,
(What a Freudian slip!)
Was something I’d rather die than miss.

I had carried them on me for far too long
On my back where I could never see,
what they were up-to or where they belong
I wanted to be weightless
I wanted to be free
If only you’d show me those hooks on you
Where are they? Let me see!

I didn’t have to ask twice you were dying to
All you wanted was for me to want you
And though I did, want you too
It was these damn hooks I was sinking my flesh into, not you.

First I thought I’d put my clothes on you
Just to get a good look, remember?
Hey,
maybe they’d look good on you too!

I lay them on you and I was confused
Cause suddenly, it got harder and harder to see you
I’m sorry baby,
I didn’t know they were so heavy,
I couldn’t resist,
My clothes, they were finally off of me
I did, for a moment,
Thanks to you, feel free.

But you didn’t, did you honey?
You wanted me so deep
You dug your heels in deep.
Whoops.
And you didn’t have to ask,
I was dying to(o),
Sink my skin into you, deep
I think to this day it’s never felt so sweet

Till I got your hooks off of me
And my clothes back too
I’ll wear them forward from here
I now know how to
Thanks to you
I got a good look, at me
At the clothes and their true colours,
Your hooks helped me see.

I don’t know what I was to you
Some pretty colours to hide those awful hooks you had on you?
It eventually took,
my flesh and blood and bones too
But I hope you got enough you needed of me
To get those ugly hooks off you,
And make some clothes for you too,
So you’d finally be free.

I hope they hug you warm at night
And help you sleep too,
If you know what I mean.
