Nothing To Wear
Tell me what kind of abstract real thoughts do you think
Bounce around in girl's heads, and belonging to gals,
What's the one heard most often by guys?
There’s no chance it’s “I love you!” for sure,
Or “Have you seen my purse”
Or “Did you take a bath?”
Could it ever get worse?
Smelling good is life’s meaning for them,
When a man’s coming home from the gym,
We’re quite proud of the way that we stink!
Would she ever consent to go with you to shrink?
And what woman is happy with just being pals?
To suggest this would surely get rise
For mere friendship can never endure.
“Tell me how does this look”
(Extra points if you care)
“Can you snap this last hook?”
Must not dare to leave clothes on the floor
Or she’ll blow up and show you the door,
Lucky now you’ve not bought her that mink!
And she always buys clothes with a nod and a wink
For a girl’s never lacking in good rationales
But while praising new dress to the skies,
You still get that she’s really unsure,
She’ll return it to store
And then what she still lacks,
From good friends, she’ll get more,
Though you see clothing hang from the stair,
It’s still true she has “nothing to wear.”
One example of girl double think!
