Verse:

To all the ladies in attendance with style and grace,
Allow me to address you sensually in song:
Who, might you ask, can successfully pen lyrics that could swoon all women?
You may find said gentleman in the rear of the dance venue, sipping name-brand champagne.
There too, you may find my entourage in the aforementioned section of the dance venue, courting women.
Numerous inquiries, indulging in psychoactive substances, and music playing
will not deter me
from connecting with a woman with whom I hope to enjoy mutual pleasures.
Perchance lay with, and never disclose our tryst,
because I see no reason to divulge such actions merely because we aroused each other.

Let me explain, I am quite versed in courtship and when it comes to the sexual realm.
Understand, my dear, I am rather endowed.
It is unnecessary to act selfishly, I entertain many acquaintances in such a manner,
have ample financial earnings and colleagues with similar credibility.
I can provide transportation if you would like to…
