Yadira's Taste in Men

A tiny morsel of a man

Not enough to make a tasty treat

For anything that likes to eat

Its victims by the pound

But it's not your body I'm after

And it surely isn't your face

Or your hair that's always out of place

I only want your mind

I need you more than you'll ever know

But I don't want to be in your arms

I care not for your questionable charms

I only want your soul

I want to take you to my lair

But I don't want to kiss or hold you tight

And when you scream into the night

It surely won't be for pleasure

You see, I have a yearning need

That only you can fulfill

Ruling the Cosmos gives me a thrill

But to succeed, I need your brain

You see, I don't care if you're handsome

I don't even care how you taste

But a mind's a terrible thing to waste

Which is why I plan to take yours

Please don't bother to struggle

It will only be in vain

You see, I must have your brain

Then the Universe will be mine

I don't care about your body

I only want your mind
