She's a Pretty Little Thing

Bring me something pretty
wrapped up in a bow
something to love and hold
something that will grow

Don't hand me that
your ill-meant plagues of woe
you say that I can't love
but what do you know

I just want to live this life
meet some girl, make her my wife
Then again a good lay will do
wham bam, thank you, then I'm through

What do you mean I'm so fake
You forget that this life is a game of give and take
What do you mean I can't rush love?
isn't there a question printed there above

I want something fluffy, something pretty
I want her to be true, smart, and sexy
Is that so wrong for me to have
does it have to get confused and messy

What do you mean that's a shallow thing
huh, i guess what you say does have a certain ring
I guess i shouldn't want so much
life is more than just having something

So I guess you can keep your pretty thing
I'll just stand here and pout
tralala me me me
what was it you were ranting about?
