If you’re browsing
for choices
go to the five-and-dime store
if you ain’t got the cash
whatcha still standing here for?

This ain’t no thrift shop
this is the real deal
there ain’t no ‘made in China’ burnished on my skin
if you want this
you gotta play to win.

I’m not here
to settle down
but I won’t take a
here-today-gone-tomorrow
type of love either.

I can pick myself off the floor,
open my own doors,
change my own lightbulbs,
and check own my black oil.

I don’t need
diamonds in my bathtub
but don’t think I’m just some old plaything
you can pull off the shelf
every time you get lonely at night.

I am not a phase
I am the whole **** cycle.

Treat me like your princess,
and I’ll treat you like a prince
but if you treat me wrong,
then I’m (not) sorry
but you’re gone.

Wasted too much precious time on Jokers,
it’s time to deal me a King.
