She deserves the world
And every time you convince
Yourself that you’re worthy
Of the opposite
You strip her
Of the opportunity
To achieve her rightful boon
You gotta start making
Some real effort
And soon
Before she dawns
On her own awards
And runs out of time
To try persuade you
Of yours
Can’t waste a forever
Building a boy to a man
Or getting all-sat
To stand
She’s more than up
To borrow a bankrolling
Back patting hand
But when she’s interlacing yours
And you tear away
Cold and coarse
Roar her to mouse
And ruin another
Saturday’s fun
Like trying to run
From a chore
You’ll leave her
Wanting breaks
Then wanting more
And wanting more
She believes in every ounce
Of your superstardom
It’s time it was something you saw
Cos pretty soon
It’ll only be the tantrums
She stores in your image
Adores that pretty finish
Two flashing sets of eyelash
Make smile of a grimace
She knows she deserves that world
And you’ve quickly become it
But she wants that gold trim
Glitter rim and pearls
No lust just to slum it
You’ll never have the job
Of making her woman
From a girl
Because she grew seed to tree
Long before you ran fingers
Through her curls
She thinks love needs that glamour
That poise and that effort
Wants it Old Hollywood
No tactic, trick or method
Something pure
And something tender
She don’t want to fix you
And you don’t have to mend her
So pull those socks up
And comb that hair do
Give her what she wants
Before she’s gone
And it’s fair, too.
