From the recording Shed a Little Light: Joy Zimmerman Live
You Took the Bait fishes for the target of your affection.
Lyrics
When you walked in, I caught you first
A chance meeting of heaven and earth
As we swam into a sea of desire
I snagged you in my line of fire
You took the bait
I’m gonna reel you in
You think you’ll get away
You’re gonna come back again and again and again and again
My lure is strong
Hear my siren song
Just try to stay away
We sailed right into the eye of a storm
Crossing wild seas as sirens warned
Our tide rose high
The wind grew rough
Love laid the gangplank
You jumped off
You took the bait
I’m gonna reel you in
You think you’ll get away
You’re gonna come back again and again and again and again
My lure is strong
Hear my siren song
Just try to stay away
Try to swim away
Try, try to swim away
Good things come to those who wait
Once I start to captivate
Temptation will not fail
You might be my catch of the day
My hook will make you prey
You might love to tell the tale
Resist to no avail
My allure will prevail
You took the bait
I’m gonna reel you in
You think you’ll get away
You’re gonna come back again and again, again and again and again
My lure is strong
Hear my siren song
Just try to stay away
Try to swim away
Try to swim away
Try, try to swim away
Try to swim away
