Girls Think Guys Havent A Clue But Some Of Us Do

a single guy who freely flies without looking to date 
never bothering with girls who play the game of chase 
because those games tell me those girls ain’t really to my taste 
they wouldn’t go and make the effort they want me too waste 
they’re self serving not observant I’d rather escape 
playing with my emotions for the validation it creates 
treat ‘em mean to keep ‘em keen and put them in their place 
play that game with me and I’ll be gone without a trace 
making me feel jealous for the reaction it’ll make 
to sooth your insecurities or for your egos sake 
but I have to endure this feeling that you instigate 
for every short term benefit the long term gathers hate 

seeking to control me without a care for me 
expecting me to be there when deciding I should be 
in my absence you’re the sort who behaves as if you’re free 
begging for forgiveness claiming you were too drunk to see
and though you know you’ve cheated you have no memory 
and though you can’t be trusted you are so in love with me 
so I decide that I will be the captain of this ship 
and navigate us forward while you get away with it 
until I see the iceberg that I will be sure to hit 
I’ll tell you I was drunk but remember every bit 
and will I seek forgiveness? Don’t be so stupid!
