Analysis of FINGERS THROUGH YOUR HAIR



I want to run my fingers through your hair
It's what I like to do disregarding the dare
Favourite song on the radio
Whispering sweet words in your ear
Lights dim low
Lying next to me with nothing to fear.

I'll glide my fingers through your hair
Caressing you gently while cuddling in my lair
Kissing you passionately causing an appetite to grow
Your sparkling eyes exposes my snare
Your face shine with an astonishing glow
Love; I'll be gentle with your hair.
