When a pretty girl smiles

I’m older and wiser
Past that dangerous age
I’m more mature-
Yes I’ve turned a page.
So why does it make me
So Totally deranged?
When a pretty girl smiles.

It doesn't matter my learning;
my title, position, or peers.
When I am smitten-
My mind is not clear.
Fortunately I can mask -
Hide behind my veneer
When a pretty girl smiles

Like the Mona Lisa
Men may never know
years hide the faces
As I continue to grow
God given beauty
Makes a dangerous thing
When a pretty girl smiles
