Born Cursed Romantic

Romance that merry happy 
courting dance
for so many
but not for me
it seems
it was never meant to be.

A born cursed romantic
Can't think of hardly anything else
it's ingrained in my brain 
it's posion in my blood
no matter what I do
it's never good enough.

I thought I new what to do
but I'm sick and tired of having
my heart broken into
And boy does it hurt
I've been hung up to dry
had my nose rubbed in the dirt.

Everywhere I look
it's sex sex sex
Women showing their bits
couples hand in hand
I don't feel human no more
and feel less than a man.

Girlfriends always told me they loved me
I'd make a great husband
But where are they now?
Somewhere with a troglodyte
who treats them like dirt
and that really hurts.

O.k. Women want to sleep with me
but forget it.
I'm not a piece of meat
I'm a man with a brain and good heart
and by the way
my name is Pete.

aww never say never :) there are lots of women who look for more than just a one night stand, I can assure you, as a woman myself! it seems you have been unlucky so far, but you are too sweet a man to give up on love and romance! :)

a man who doesn't argue and push people around sounds like every woman's dream to me!! I've known a few 'bad' men and I'm fed up with the hurt they cause! and nobody is perfect, are they? we are all perfectly imperfect, as someone once said :)

Charlotte you. are a blessing. I treat everyone as special, I'm kind and generous I have good manners, always making others happy a very popular guy.But still not good enough had girlfriends who couldn't understand that I didn't argue, wanted me to push them around. told I;m not bad enough., girls like bad men. A lot just want a fling. not into that. I'm not perfect that's the problem. Thank you once again take care Pete...
