This isn't to make you feel bad
it's just to explain
that I don't make compromises
because I know how quickly
a smile can swallow a girl whole
chew her up, spit her out
and keep on bearing perfect chiclit teeth.
So don't think you're pulling a fast one on me-
Let me tell you something: I have value and I am not for you to spend

"I thought"- What a dangerous phrase, goes both ways;
I thought they liked it/I though they wouldn't
Compromises desire and safety at the same time, corrupts them both
but the world moves and I've moved, and I'm older now, less compromising
now.

I don't care if you think I'm just another girl lighting things up
because I've ruined your good time
because you don't want to hear about "things like that"
I told you already, it's not to make you feel bad,
It's just my experience
it's just my life.

So, no, I won't sleep with you on the first date
and no, I won't feel bad about it.
