That Random Joe Is Me

Keep on knocking and shouting
because I won't open the door;
ring the bell, I won't be answering...
this guy is not your Mr. right.
who doesn't squander money to get 
what single men can't with a dollar.

That random Joe is me! Oh, change
your perception of me, I don't buy
love but give it expecting it back;
your obsession is way out of range,
your anxiety worries me , Im a wreck!
No, no delusional girl all you do is cry!
I'm no millionare, I own no racetrack!

You expect me to take you on all-year cruise,
gaze at stars and hug you in the breezy night;
only simple things I can offer you, oh, sweet muse...
there are no kisses hotter that yours in twilight!

That random Joe is me! Bright dreams billow
out around you, throw away the dream pillow:
 give up the illusion of a mansion in Hollywood...
this is not smiley Tom Cruise who keeps his word!
