Ravi Singh - The Elusive Lady

She appears out of nowhere, and in a jiffy she is gone
Keeping me guessing, about what went so wrong
She is an elusive lady to me

She throws out a bait, for a possible date
And without an excuse, she arrives very late
She is an elusive lady to me

She looks me in a way, like she wants me to stay
And suddenly remembers a visit, which she has to pay
She is an elusive lady to me

She is well aware, of depth of my woes
Yet she enjoys keeping me, always on my toes
She is an elusive lady to me

She enjoys playing, her very elusive trick
My desperation it seems, gives her a kick
She is an elusive lady to me

If I take the cue, and begin to play her game
For the consequences, she herself would be to blame
She is an elusive lady to me

I hope she realizes and tries to understand
If this goes on long, she would lose a good friend
She won't remain an elusive lady to me.
