Sothern Romeo

Sothern Romeo (second edition)
by Cate Rock

It hurts inside,
These bottled feelings
I just can't hide.
My beating heart a time bomb
INDEED.
it's my southern Romeo I so desperately need.
just someone to rely on...
A pain that rips my heart in two,
I feel nothing here any more,
even when I feel you.
My heart parts at a fork in the road
oh my mind won't let me go.
When western winds blow me down south,
I shall find my no words within a full mouth.

My heart in my head,
my head in the clouds,
and my southern Romeo...
Still just hiding.

He'd wear a cowboy hat and spurs
When he'd go fishing he'd never need lures,
mainly cause like a magnate 
everything is attracted to him. 

But he'd be mine and I'd be his,
and all would be right but not tonight...

Be cause I'm not:
sixteen going on fourteen,
and I'm not:
every bit of what you see!
I am:
an individual,
very personable 
and I won't take no for an answer!

Cause I will,
and can do anything.
And I know
I'm worth more than u know
and when it comes down to balls,
balls is more than you have to show!

So Ill live 
to see another day
and I'll march my happy butt away,
tonight if you gotta problem 
talk to my manager cause I'm off duty.

My prince will come another day,
you walk and I'll walk the other way!

Talk to me and you can talk to my new
Southern Romeo.
All you did was give me even more scars to show.
