The Rule of Tickles - Color Theory

You could torture me to tears

And not leave a mark

So it’s not easy for me

To let down my guard

When the natural thing to do

Is protect myself

From an overwhelming touch

Crossing into pain

If you’re delicate enough

You can have your way

But I need a safety net

So you’d better not forget

The rule of tickles is

You’ve got to stop when I say when

If you take this game too far

I’ll never play with you again

So watch for subtle cues

'Cause I like you a lot

Can I trust you, or not?

When your fingertips explore

All you feel is touch

As sensations in my skin

'Cause my blood to rush

It’s like falling deep in love

With a platonic friend

I can’t do it to myself

It’s impossible

'Cause I’m only sensitive

When I’m vulnerable

The successful hand relies

On the element of surprise

Laughter doesn’t always mean

That I’m having fun

I may laugh reflexively

Before you’ve begun

But you have my full consent

If you’re willing to relent

I’m easy to amuse

'Cause I like you a lot

Can I trust you, or not?
