Love

Love
what the is it?
where does it come from
why don't I have any?
when every girl that I've ever dated
or wanted to to be with
has simply didn't want me

Love was a thing
that was lost from my vocabulary
until a friend of mine
sent me a chain letter
through text message
not too long ago
and now it's a thing
that's been on my mind
burnin' me
like a hot knife through butter

Why should I give love another chance
when I've been hurt so much
by so many?
I come askin' questions
but I receive no answers

This girl
who is nothing more than a friend
though I haven't known her long
she really means a lot to me
though she turned me down for a date once
she wouldn't know
that I really do like her
she wouldn't know it if it hit her right in the face
'cause no matter how many times
I've told her that I think
she's totally beautiful
I just can't seam to get her attention

What can I say?
She makes me melt
but who am I kidding?
she'll just break my heart
just like everyone else
'cause every time I say things like
"you're beautiful" of "those other girls don't
rate up to you"
she never says anything in return
the feeling that she's ignoring me
stings and burns

But make no mistake
I still think she's cool and sweet
and I'd treat her like a queen
and I'd make her feel
like no other man could
and in case you didn't know...
that's what I'd do
just for the thing called "love"
