Hello reaper
What's with your demeanor?
Don't you want it sweeter?

I'll be your lover
Don't you wonder?
Feelings like thunder
Don't you hunger?
Let it take you under

I'll show you my passion
For your action
We got attraction
Show me compassion
And I'll show you a fun reaction
You'll be my destruction
But don't make that connection
Just give me your affection

I'm no runner
It's summer
No-one will discover
Could it get any funner
I'm not getting younger
I don't want to count another number
I don't want to suffer....

Let's have a good time!
I got wine!
You want to be my valentine?

I promise I taste sublime
I bet you taste devine
Why do you decline?

You look at me
I'm on my knee
Is that pity I see?
I just want to feel free
You turn away from me
Don't leave me this lonely

Then something ignite
Someone screaming fight
Who's screaming with such fright
Almost visible in the blinding light

Who's that over there?
My love, my dear?
Oh dear
Now I feel fear
What am I doing, I can't leave you there!

Reaper, my feelings were insincere
Please disappear
I don't want to leave it here
I see you sneer
On my darlings face I see a tear
Tearing down my frontier
My mistake is severe
Reaper sais, "there there,
suddenly your time is not near"

My soulmate
My way you illuminate
My will you motivate
I'm sorry for the pain I create
I'll work on my self-hate
So I can lift that weight
And be affectionate, not afraid

You're the true divine
I'm sorry for the lost time
Can I be your valentine
My sunshine
