I aint no polyamory girl, I have my standards in this world,
my belief is strong, I made this stand, I am a woman, wanting one man.
I love your heart, the way you care, but this ole heart aint willing to share,
I'm a good catch, oh don't you see, Being a third wheel just aint for me.
We had our fun flying up high, through the clouds and beautiful sky,
But you blew it!
I gave my all, its a done deal, I aint gonna be no third-party wheel,
Yeah you Blew it!
Time together on the beach was fun, enjoying life under the sun,
You spoke with kindness from the start, roped me in then broke my heart.
I tried being patient, waiting my turn, but when it comes to her, you're gonna burn,
It won't be easy, but I will heal, while you're stuck on stupid, with lots to deal.
We had some good times, I won't forget, but I'm moving on with no regret,
It aint me, it's totally you, the trust is gone and now we’re through,
You blew it!
The world has fashioned ways
to put you under me...
I want you to know
that's not the world I see.
I see you as you are
as all that you can be
within a bond
in which both of us fly free.
Let's just be together
in a way that works for both...
birds of a feather
flying where we each need to go.
Anyone who said that life is easy
had his head stacked full of rocks
and the cranium he wandered in
was full of empty talk.
In this real world we inhabit
I can't contain your love...
any more than I could a serpent...
or a flying dove...
so I don't even try.
I love you as you are
like I do a flying bird...
as I do a star...
I see you as you are
as all that you can be
within a bond
in which both of us fly free.
Let's just be together
in a way that works for both...
birds of a feather
flying where we each need to go.
She built him a temple for one.
She offered monogamous fun,
“If you’ll but kneel,
You’ll cop a feel!”
To worship, head first he did run.
But when the prayer was said and done,
He turned and smiled at a nun.
“If you’ll unveil,
It’s you I’ll hail!”
From her habit, quickly she spun.
Shouting polytheistic praise,
He felt the holy spirits raise.
The one he spurned,
Her temple burned.
As monotheism set ablaze.
