I write poems, not pickup lines,
And my love is not for the taking.
When I watched you at the bar,
I didn’t see any stars.
I only see a human,
With an interesting soul.
I write poems, not pickup lines,
And I’ve only ever slept in my own bed.
When I looked into your eyes,
I didn’t get butterflies.
We can’t do a one-night stand,
But I will stand with you for the night.
I write poems, not pickup lines,
And my on switch is always off.
When our clothes were on the floor,
I almost walked out the door.
I don’t care for your body,
I only crave your time.
I write poems, not pickup lines,
And my heart is not broken.
When you saw me,
You wanted all of me.
But this is all of me.
