How I Tried On Valentine's

How I tried on Valentine's all over the many years. I've lost all of my Valentine's and most of them in tears. How I tried on Valentine's to find my merry mate. Working through the ugly and possible first-rate. How I tried on Valentine's Forgetting all my failures. Moving to the next one oblivious of the bailers. How I tried on Valentine's to settle for much less. Hoping that the next one Would change and reassess. How I tried on Valentine's to go the other way. Hoping that they'd chase me finding me as clay. How I tried on Valentine's to say what's on my mind. Shouting out my arrogants and baiting the wrong kind. How I tried on Valentine's to make a friend at first. Only to be shunned again by girls who want you worst. How I tried on Valentine's to wait for the right time. Left to find my girl on another's dime. How I tried on Valentine's to spin a small milk bottle. Landing on a stranger foreign without throttle. How I tried on Valentine's to meet up with a bore. When all she kept on talking 'bout was nothing and no more. How I tried on Valentine's coveting one man's wife. Only to release her sharing in man's strife. How I tried on Valentine's Loving her full body. Finding that she had no mind and wished she had a hobby. How I tried on Valentine's Waiting to make love. Ending up with others When push came into shove. How I tried on Valentine's Seeking out a hottie. Making me a sickly boy who's doctor now called naughty. How I tried on Valentine's Expecting an easy date. Getting just the opposite but figuring it too late. How I tried on Valentine's Jailbait in short skirts. Quick to kiss what doesn't last and limits to their flirts. How I tried on Valentine's making the first move. Only to find I'm ignored for others in her grove. How I tried on Valentine's forcing my own way. Told by a cold shoulder How I could not stay. How I tried on Valentine's two instead of one Only to be shot down and told that I am done. How I tried on Valentine's Perfect to a tee. Wanting only to be seen in a bar as fee. How I tried on Valentine's Cautious and carefree. Never knew what she was thinking or who was bird or bee. How I tried on Valentine's remembering what I've learned. Speaking words of wisdom and loves that have been spurned.
