Try Not To Want You

Like a moth to the flame, I get burned. You'd think I should 
have learned.
                                                I see what your doing to my pride, taking my dignity for 
a ride.
                                          You are such a tease, a tease that does not aim to 
please. At least not me.
                                                     I follow through to what I say but you, no you 
runaway.
                                        Things get to real for you and you turn into a little boy afraid 
of the dark.
                                        You'll get me wanting you, acting like you do. Then you 
leave me there standing like a fool.
                                                                   Well I'm not going down that way.
                                       I got my own game I can play. No more little boys standing 
in my way.
                                       I want a real man that will give me what I want, instead of 
just flaunts.
                                                I don't want another pretty face, or a winner of a race.
                                                    Sex isn't a race, I'm in charge I set the pace.
                                               I want it all night don't get done to fast that ain't right.
                                      I try not to want you so leave me alone, I will find a man 
that'll make me moan,
                                                    and moan, and moan, and moan. OOOOh BABY!
