You give love a bad name


YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME 3/30/13 Broken by words that were pretty tough Accused of not being good enough Shun by rejection Torn down by deception My weight was your problem, and that was so hateful Not because I was unfaithful, disrespectful or ungrateful A fantasy had blinded you from what’s pure, what’s real, what’s rich Endless love was replaced for short term pleasure offered by some trick Attraction was lost, a relationship tossed Cheep sex was your cost So now you’re free to break hearts or even have yours broken What we had has passed on like a subway token Real love they say is hard to find You once had real love...remember? Just press rewind Still searching now for your beauty you roam and you creep When will you learn that beauty is only skin deep The exterior took precedence over commitment and support A heart shattered due to sexual lust that your mind distort You’re so quick to give love without any concern But looks like you’re not getting any back in return You’re the fool; you really don’t know what true love is It’s not something you give out and take back in a fizz Love is not just a word to be tossed and taken light Or something to say while sexin some chick at night Love is more than you know or will allow to enter your life You meet a girl and within a week you say she’s your wife!?! So sad because love is what your life has been missing By a person who was always there for you, and you keep dissing They say “there’s a thin line between love and hate” But true love will over look all your mistakes It’s a give and take, a sacrifice, when you are a person who is real Fake love follow those who a heart they only plot to steal It catches up every time without a doubt you will get yours Because baby you are far from perfect you to have many flaws So the next time your manhood stands up at attention Hold back and be sure you mean it, before the word love is mentioned. dolvas 3/31/13
