but then he took that away.
like always, i thought he was different
but time after time i find they are all the same.
i'm not afraid to be alone
i mean, i'd prefer another way
but if these are the men i'm attracting
i don't know if i'll find the right one some day.
sometimes i wish i read less
so i wouldn't expect so much
but if i have a daughter,
i'd teach her the same.
raise your standards always,
never let them drop,
if someone thinks you're worth it,
they'll climb to the top
of the tree you planted
to provide shade and respite
a good man whose worth it
will fight to climb any height.
so i guess what i'm saying is,
yes, so far no one's manned up,
and made it to the top of my tree,
but then again i'm at the top,
unable to see whose down there,
looking up at me.
