Baby Girl

Grow before you let him know your secrets
Take time to develop feelings
Sit thyself upon a pedestal
and dare he to strike you down
Do not become lost
and then found by garbage men,
treated like trash,
or recycled collection
Require a purchase agreement connection
before offering a fragment of precious affection

If you in the mirror,
saying I love you,
is the only attention you get...
revel in that
because too many seek fulfillment in lust's tragic bewilderment
Having to learn again to stand and spot a worthy man
due to scars deforming

Develop goals and put blinders on
until their horizons you have advanced upon
and then choose one who can further the dream
of reality crowning you as its queen
and I promise once there, you will see
That the love you receive
is the good love you'll need

Cause...

Baby, girl
women are not born everyday
its an acquired disposition
