Come A Little Closer

I've lived beyond death more times than I can count.From the streets, to owning a club in New Orleans, to hustling drugs for the Chicago mafia, to this…The hottest nightclub with the darkest of sins in New York City.And my enemies are moving in. I can almost sense their shadows slipping closer.It's no time for resting on my heels or falling in love.Besides, I gave that madness up years ago.This pretty little dancer has my eye though, and the woman is persistent if nothing else. She's a single mom, so maybe that's part of her tough-girl act.And she should be. We go way back to a time when I wasn't so broken by the life I've chosen.She's got no clue of the danger she's trying to bed. She just remembers the good parts.Lucky for her, I still got all of those. But she should beware.Because if I like her the way I remember liking her, I'm not willing to ever let it go.
