Why are you acting
Like you don't know
That the boy's outside
With a rose
How are you going to say 'No'
To a perfectly good rose?
How are you going to say
You don't want it?
You don't want a rose?
What else don't you want?
Ice cream sundaes?
Chicken tenders?
Strawberry shakes?
What other happinesses
Do you want to lock your door to?
Say you're not ready for?
Say your heart isn't feeling?
Sweetie, if you can't love
A man with a rose in his hand
Standing outside your window
Then there's not much in this world
You can love
So I suggest you stop post-modernizing your life
And start looking at the plot
And ask yourself where it's going
Because right now
Your life is a lot of things
But it sure isn't a page-turner
Go outside
Get the rose
Kiss the boy
Have a nice day
