The Value of Love

Can I be honest and admit I didn't realize the value of love until recently? 
I'll apologise to every girl I played and Hurt because I have the decency
I used to feel the need to flirt with every female in sight 
But now I know the value of love, I won't date you unless I plan to one day make you my wife

I've always loved girls, but I fell short when it came to making them happy all the time
a brain of knowledge, but when it came to females I had the smallest mind
my charm and smile was enough for so many great girls to get led astray 
I refused to be tied down so I could have a different girl everyday 

I thought my mother not being around was an excuse to treat girls like this
I'd be in bed with another girl instead of giving the girl that liked me a goodnight kiss
I want to be honest, I don't want to hide or keep the details short 
During my teenage years I was a male whore 

I thought Love was a game won by how many girls you dated
But I realised it was more when she left and my world was naked 
We have to lose something in order to gain wisdom 
Our heart is always talking, but I was too stubborn to listen 
 
I've Been around the block, i'm not proud but I'm not ashamed either
These Girls were strong for me when I became weaker
Even if it was just for a short time
But some of these girls were borrowed and were never truly mine

I've got my eye on a new girl and I don't have a game plan
I just want to make her happy and show her I'm a changed man
I just hope my past doesn't go before me
Because I want her to be my final chapter not just another part of my story 

I didn't realise the value of love until recently 
I apologise to all the girls I played and Hurt because I have the decency 
I no longer feel the need to flirt with every female in sight 
I've got my eyes on a girl I adore who I hope to one day make my wife
