Look In My Direction
I see tears coming out of your eyes.
Forget him, he is no prize.
For somebody like you, there are plenty of other guys.
What I have just told you should not be a surprise.
You wasted your time with that stupid jerk.
I don’t believe he is normal. He has many a quirk.
Let that fool go. You can do better than that.
There will be other candidates standing at your welcome mat.
Do you want someone who will give you lots of affection?
All you have to do is look in my direction.
There is no need to feel sad and glum.
I have much more to offer than that bum.
