I’m starting to notice a terrible trend,
Regarding the way that I pick my men:
I fall for the charms,
Ignore the alarms,
And tend to be hurt in the end.

The guys around me are often quite grown,
A handful of them can sure make me moan…
Don’t even know why
I talk to these guys,
Guess I don’t wanna be alone?

When was the last time I think I felt love?
(Aside from my Julie, angel from above!)
It’s gotta be Em!
I really miss them-
The two of us fit like a glove.
