#2017DatingRealness

Love is like a full-time job.

Love is like a full-time job

Gotta make sure he's not a slob

I'm taking applications, but not hiring till March

Drowning in an Ocean of people, yet still parched

Looking for love in an inflated economy

Sex, pills, and money, heading for catastrophe

Is there a genuine soul left?

Someone that won't corrupt or caress

How many times I've been fetishized

Somewhere between the time we got colonized

Not your mystic princess, or the eclipser of doom

I'm a real person and I've got real feelings too

#2017DatingRealness

I'm not sure I really like this

Just met you, so yeah I think I'll keep my clothes

You got too much feeling for me, falling over like dominoes

Don't act like the victim; you know the games you play

If you can't be honest, please just stay away.

So I can go back to loving myself

And focusing on what's important.

Love comes from hard work and patience

It's about sacrifice and you can't be complacent

It is kind, does not envy or boast

It protects, trusts and hopes

Can't live in your Disney Fantasy

Can't be that beck and call

No, no it ain't me babe

I'm not the one you're looking for
