Qu'Est-Ce Que C'Est
Qu'est-ce que c'est
What is it? (Qu'est-ce que c'est}
this invisible pull that can do so much
make the iris enlarge
and water flow from the thighs
like Niagara
gives the heart the pleasure of its sight
or the ear the joy of a sound
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Makes one just want to smell another
their clothes, where they laid their head
what they touched on you
whatever they left with you good or bad
all the foreplay you need is for him to lie atop you
their breath is magic and their heartbeat is a spell
Qu'est-ce que c'est
makes you listen so as he fusses on the phone
and you stay on the line for five hours
cause the sound of his voice is music
takes you to a paradise at the sight of
their picture even though you can’t see
clearly with one eye punched shut
he’s o.k. though
he's still good looking
Qu'est-ce que c'est
Makes them still look fine
after they have been so bad
torn off your fingernails
you thought it was sexy
Now what is the attraction?
Qu'est-ce que c'est
