That's a Problem, Not a Preference

You want someone fun
Who won't challenge you intellectually
So you can feel comfortable
In your mediocrity
Believing that you like simplicity

That's a problem, not a preference

'Dumb' is not a preference

You want someone fun
Who can take care of you
And can cash in your credit
Cut up your debit card
And discard your bills in the trash

That's a problem, not a preference

'Goldmine' is not a preference

You want someone fun
Who's done before you've begun
Meaning they can walk but can't run
So you can run around all you want
Because they're slow on the uptake
And take you at your word

That's a problem, not a preference

'Oblivious' is not a preference

You want someone fun
Who reminds you of Dad
Who's bad to you the way he was
And just cause he's older than you
He'll know what to do
When your neuroses kick in
It's like you're beginning all over again

That's a problem, not a preference

'Plays Into My Daddy Issues' is not a preference

You want someone fun
Who can be your co-dependent
Independently you're simply messes
But together you're better at screwing up
Doing up the town on a Monday
Straying than playing on each other's nerves
Until you get the break-up you deserve

That's a problem, not a preference

'Bad influence' is not a preference

You're supposed to shoot for better
The point is to find a lover
Not a shrink
Think about what you want
And what you need
And if you believe yourself
Then you should date yourself

You tend to do well
With men that deceive
