I Don't Want You

The Bottom Line ------------

The initial attraction was good
The conversation flowed easily
We made each other smile and laugh
I thought we could’ve had something

But I didn’t say anything about it
I wanted to tread carefully, to find out more about you first
You didn’t know it, but I gave you a test
On the surface, you looked good
But I probed deeper, and you failed

In some ways, you could have been good for me
But if something had started, how long would it have lasted?
I could have got you into bed, I’d put money on that
We could’ve had a fun relationship, and made each other feel good
Until you treated me like a confidante
You told me more than I wanted to know, and I didn’t like what I was hearing

A girl like you is no good for a guy like me
I look deep inside, you’re just shallow
I think things through, at times excessively
You judge everything at face value
Opposites attract? Not in this case
We’d have bored each other eventually
I don’t want you

You have to kiss a lot of toads to find a princess
Or so the slightly modified saying goes
I have no intention of kissing any toads
I’ll know my princess when I see her, and it’s not you
She’ll have more class, more integrity
She’ll be good for me in every way, and it will last forever

Others have made me think they could be her
But there was always a flaw
Sometimes with them, often with the situation
I’ve made mistakes with them, but I’ve always learnt
I don’t want them

She’s out there, waiting for me
She’ll complete me, make me fall truly in love for the first and only time
I’m everything she’s looking for and more, and I’ll feel the same for her
You’ll find someone like that one day, but don’t knock on my door.

I don’t want you, I want her
