I once spent a tarnished red cent
for a man who was undeniably hell-bent
on being an obnoxious
and gibberish gent.
And I knew for certain
I shouldn’t have wasted my token,
but I felt so sorry
when the man’s doohickey became broken.
To this day, I still wonder
if I’ll ever finally learn
not to let a man’s problems be
of any of my concern.

He doesn’t listen
and seems not to care.
Or is he just clueless
perhaps unaware?
I stomp my feet
I get so mad.
I think he likes it
when I’m sad.
This pattern of life
is frustrating as hell.
I just wanna shake him
and break the spell!
Surely he hears me
as he sits in his chair,
resembling a zombie
with a half-baked stare.
Do I have to dance naked,
would that bring him out?
If you knew him
even you would doubt.
He just doesn’t see me
and I’m always right here.
Being invisible
is what I most fear.
Tell me please,
what shall I do?
I’m being dismissed
like a worn out shoe.
I bet every woman
has faced this kind of day.
We should all just vow,
to go our own way.
Maybe we’d all get noticed
if their beds turned cold.
Weeks without sex,
would surely get old.
Don’t worry though, I’m fine!
Cause I just don’t even care.
I’ll wait and see how he likes it
when I stop washing his dirty underwear!

She’s the kind that seeks attention
From men of all sorts
Just watch her for a few minutes
And see the way she cavorts
It’s really quite revolting
The way she digs her claws in
And all those poor unsuspecting men
Nobody knows what’s happened to them
It’s funny because I notice her
Day after day after day…
She seems annoying as hell
And just won’t go away
She’s the kind of woman
Who only speaks with the guys
I shiver at the thought
Of what’s underneath her disguise
Maybe she’s actually quite decent
I could have it all completely wrong
Maybe she’s a real sweet lady
And I’ve been oblivious all along
I suppose I’ve come to the conclusion
That I’ll never really know anything for certain
But I do know one thing
She’s obnoxious when she’s flirtin
And last but not least
Her eager advancements leave me quite ill
Too bad I’m not a guy
I might actually enjoy the thrill

Plump and provocative
Was all he ever saw
Her luscious curves
Were the only real draw
He said he cared for her
And wanted her for his own
Then another woman appeared
And his cover was blown
