Innocent Love
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Where have you been?
I've been looking for you
You, wait you?
Who is this "you"?
That's been making me so blue
Is he tall?
Is he short?
Is he a bum?
Is he a dork?
I want to know
Tall dark and handsome
Or short bland and dreadsome
Anything but the last one
Please don't think I'm picky
I just don't want this relationship to be tricky
When you've been played like monopoly
It's pretty hard not be
Guys come and go
Doing it all for the show
Never thinking about significant others
But brothers
If it was your sister
Wouldn't you want this Mr.
To treat her like a queen
But as for me
That's what my focus will now be
On Your's truly
Because when I look back
On all this meaningless crap
I'd like to say
To my baby girl someday
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
And a real man shouldn't want you any other way.
