I Can Be

So many times in relationships we try to morph who we are into what we think the other person wants us to be. It never works.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can be your rock star fantasy.
I can be your wildest dream.
I can be your temptress in white lace.
I can be your beauty queen.
I can call you Sugar Daddy,
and act like your little whore.
But it doeesn't mean a thing
if I'm not what you're looking for.

I can sip martinis late at night.
I can slam down a few beers.
I can be the one who picks the fight.
I can run away in tears.
I can be a social debutante.
I can fix a broke down Ford.
But if I'm not what you really want
you're bound to end up bored.

I can be barefoot and pregnant.
I can beat the corporate world.
I can be a nun, join a convent.
I can be your nasty girl.
I can be your trusted confidant,
lift your spirits from the ground.
But if I'm not what you really want
I will only let you down.
