Take a Break From Love
I no longer want a part,
Of any one man’s heart,
It’s a deceiving game,
Always the same,
Every time you start.
I find it brings much pain,
And a lot of emotional strain.
It was made for fools,
Who are always used,
Over and over again.
I’d like to leave love behind,
To let it never enter my mind.
But it’s hard to see,
If you are ever free,
For those who love are blind.
Will love ever be found true?
Has it been found by any of you?
A man in my books,
Has only his looks,
And without a man, I’ll do.
I’m sure that I can survive,
But from love, can I hide?
I’ll just play their game,
And give ‘em the same,
Then their love can take a ride.
This time, I’ll call it quits,
And certainly stick to it!
But, if another man,
Should take my hand,
I’ll probably fall for it.
