Amateur Girlfriend
Ok I'll get to the point
I'm here with a list of fears, needs and demands
So I may get on your nerves sometimes
Truth is I don't know how to play this girlfriend game
I get needy and vulnerable and messy
You should know this
I'm not used to this dating thing so I might break a few rules
Like that "thrill of the chase" or "don't be clingy stuff"
I want to throw myself at you
I want to find something in your presence that reminds me of how we make love and when we do,
I want to lose myself in you
But I'm awkward and clumsy
Sometimes I leave these insecurities lying around, if you bump into one, say hello
I left my fears all over the floor with last night's underwear
So....if you happen to trip over them don't turn a blind eye
Get fully acquainted with whatever ugliness I have about me
I'm bossy, I'm fussy and I nag a lot
But you already know
I had hidden a host of imperfections underneath my eyes, my smile, my hair, my silly jokes
Or whatever it is you like so much about me
I was afraid you'd find them
But I knew you loved me when you stayed
