Plain Jane Has Much To Gain<\/p>\n
Here we go again today.
\nYou are friendly in every way.
\nYou are sliding right up to me.
\nIs there something I can\u2019t see?<\/p>\n
Why would you be interested in me?
\nI am as common as can be.
\nBoys normally look the other way.
\nDo you think I want to play?<\/p>\n
Sorry buddy, I\u2019m not that kind.
\nI have other things on my mind.
\nI don\u2019t play those nasty games.
\nDo you think that I\u2019m insane?<\/p>\n
You say no. You\u2019re not after that.
\nThen, just tell me where it\u2019s at.
\nWhat is it you see in me?
\nI\u2019m no catch, as you can see.<\/p>\n
You say to look further down the line.
\nYou say I have a beautiful mind.
\nI\u2019m smart enough to see the truth.
\nYou are not trying to be uncouth.<\/p>\n
You want someone to cuddle to.
\nSomeone who will appreciate you.
\nSomeone who will always be true.
\nYou say I can see that person is you.<\/p>\n
You have been snubbed by girls
\nDespite their beauty and their\u00a0curls.
\nYou hope I will not be the same.
\nYou don\u2019t care that I am plain.<\/p>\n
No, you don\u2019t think I am desperate.
\nYou hope I won\u2019t tell you to rest it.
\nYou say: \u201cI\u2019d like to make it with you.\u201d
\nI think: \u2018I\u2019m the one he\u2019s talking to.\u2019<\/p>\n
I must admit,—- I am befuddled.
\nJust the thought: ‘you want to cuddle.’
\nThis has never happened to me.
\nI\u2019ll give in a little and we will see.<\/p>\n
