It Takes More

I thought you

Were perfect

But looks can

Be deceiving

 

It takes more

Than muscle

Strength and a winning smile

To win me over

 

You need charm

Intelligence

Passion and ambition

to get me

 

It takes more

Than money

And nice things

To impress me

 

You need a good

Personality

And know how to have fun

To make me like you

 

It takes more

Than acting and

Lying to make me think

You could ever love me

 

You need to

Be honest and stop

The head games to

Make me think you could EVER love me.

 

Dedicated to C.M.! I hope you find someone who will be stupid enough to buy into your crap! Good luck...you'll never fool me again!!!
