Flake
Muscles bulging, 6 foot nine
Pearly whites that made me gaze
Jet-black hair filled, with waves
He stepped to me and I swooned
Wished we could go get a room
Filled with excitement and lust
Thought that I would self-combust
When he spoke that sealed the deal
His sexy voice made me squeal
I thought I would lose my mind
if fate would not render him mine
"You're beautiful," he said to me
I could not find the words to speak!
I lost my nerve - and my chance
He asked someone else to dance
How could I fall for a flake?
Would she make the same mistake?
Suddenly I found my nerve
Same place where I found the words
"Baby boy" - that's what I said
"Is that dandruff in your head?
Looks as though you should be home
washing snowflakes off your dome!"
Two wrongs didn't make a right
But I got him back that night
Embarrassed, he walked away
And that truly made my day
Now I look for substance and
know a flake is not a man
And a club is not the place
where I will find my soul mate!
