(inspired by Nabokov)

Humbert Humbert's nymphet wonders
if she made a mistake.

*****

days spent in front of the tv
blowing kisses in my pepsi
i know just how to be your pet
and how to hold a cigarette

there’s just one thing that isn’t right
something that keeps me up at night
beneath the lipstick and the blush
i think i got into too much

isn’t this what i was supposed to want
like you want me
my clothes, my face, my oh my it’s a disgrace
who am i to be?

now that mother's gone away
you think that you can have your way
so you stroke my fevered lips
with your filthy fingertips

there’s just one thing that isn’t right
something that keeps me up at night
beneath the lipstick and the blush
i think i got into too much

isn’t this what i was supposed to want
like you want me
my clothes, my face, my oh my it’s a disgrace
who am i to be?

isn’t this what was supposed to want
like you want me
my clothes, my face, my oh my it’s a disgrace
who am i to be?

i get to be your sweet princess
that is the price for my caress
there is a lot more you should bring
if you want me to do that thing
