Pure Reason
Islème Sassi (2017)
Don’t turn away, beautiful, look at me once again
With those dark eyes full of indifference
Oh, you wear it well, dark and proud
As you cut your way through the crowd
I’m sure you can feel my gaze on you
Never turn around
But still your thoughts weigh heavy on my skin
I don’t know what you’re going to do
I’m pretty sure you’ll never turn to face me
But I know no matter what you do
It’s only pure reason that holds you back
Come my way, beautiful, walk with me one step, two, three
There’s still a chance you’ll make some fun of me
Oh, you do it well and I like the way
I fail to make the slightest impression on you
It’s clear you can see all through my tricks
Never play along
But still I’m sure you wouldn’t want to miss
I don’t mind to play the fool
I don’t mind to lose
Cause who sais a winner’s that much happier
This sun rises today and this moon gleams tonight
And we’ve got this one life
As the poets say, it’s only today
That we’ve got that one life.
