How Can You Tell
anonymous
How can you tell
If a boy’s getting tired
of the woman he loves
and he once so desired
I know that you’ll hurt me
‘Cause that’s what boys do
And I’ll love you still
Because boys need love too
But it aches in my bones
And it hurts when I breathe
When the things that I’m not
are the things that you need
To hold your attention
To keep entertained
I’m no longer a girl
I’m the dog that you trained
But you’re bored, and I notice
The dog starts to bite
If I can’t make you focus
Then I’ll make you fight
My body’s a dollar
A kiss is a dime
Payments in full
Till the card is declined
To void the transaction
Return to the sender
And through gritted teeth
The boy will surrender
When the food’s gotten cold
And your heart is not tender
‘Cause his love’s not a gift
It’s a loan from its lender
There will be no response
When your subscription’s expired
How can you tell
When a boy’s getting tired
