unwise

[metaphorliteral]

You lead me down the roads I shouldn't go.
I should know better than to follow you by now,
but you beckon me, and I can't say no.

The sole result my travelling will show
is merely sweat that trickles from my brow.
You lead me down the roads I shouldn't go.

I walk the bank against the river's flow,
and think of things my heart should not allow,
but you beckon, and I can't say no.

The fields I trek will grow and die and grow,
and so my love for you, but who knows how
you lead me down the roads I shouldn't go?

The path that leads to you is dark, and lo,
at the end you stand and take a bow.
You beckon, and I just can't say no.

You'll lead me to destruction, this I know,
and keeping far away should be my vow.
You lead me down the roads I shouldn't go,
but when you beckon, I just can't say no.
