Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFBGHIJK| You know the parlor trick | A |
| wrap your arms around your own body | B |
| and from the back it looks like | C |
| someone is embracing you | D |
| her hands grasping your shirt | E |
| her fingernails teasing your neck | F |
| from the front it is another story | B |
| you never looked so alone | G |
