Call Me Ol' Fashion

You think by talking sweet to me that you'll score,
But I am woman, hear me ROAR!!
I respect myself to much to just give my goods away,
To you and your quick, boring, selfish lay!
Call me ol'fashion but I take my time,
Cause getting to know one another is not a crime.
Yes, I like to take things slow,
Maybe then your true self will show.
If I like you, you will know,
If I don't, then out the door you'll go!
So be a gentlemen and help us with our seats,
Don't treat us like we're a dirty piece of meat!
You could offer us your coat when we get cold,
Being a gentlemen never grows old.
Also always be polite and use your manners,
Don't be one of those rude jobber-jabbers!
If you want to be with me, there's one thing you have to do,
Just bring the gentlemen out in you!

Whooo! We should carry around this "disclaimer" for those run-ins with guys who aren't ol' fashioned! Love it!
