It’s not me, it’s you…
I say this to you and bid adieu.
I should have known your profile was too charming.
Don’t propose on the first date, it’s disarming!

Live a little and have some fun.
Don’t pop the question before it’s begun.
I almost fell out of my chair when you proposed.
Maybe it was the wine that left you predisposed.

So I say again, it’s not me, it’s you…
You scared me off before the meal was through.
My ex proposed to me on the first date too…
It was déjà vu… and now it’s adieu to you!

Love rhyme. Not all Love is worth the while so it's adieu to make Love in another ado. 7 Peace, Love and Joy.
