Why do you always settle for less than you deserve

Finding your prince only to have him throw you a curve

By time you find his faults it is always to late

Always falling for a jerk seems to be your fate

You get caught up in their eyes and the way they walk

You go weak at the knees listening to them talk

When they push you aside it only makes you want more

Over time their treatment of you makes you believe you’re a bore

You can’t believe you continue to let these men ruin your life

Yet you let them control you loving them becomes you’re daily strife

If only you could figure out that being happy starts with “me”

If only you could believe in your heart “I” is all you really need

Maybe then you would chose a man that has something to give

The kind of man you won’t always have to forgive

A man that wants to see you laugh and likes to see you smile

Maybe then love would equal happiness at least for a short while
