For The Man Who Wants Me To Love Him All My Life
 
The first thing you’ve got to do is forget you’re in love with me.
Second, you must never forget you’re in love with me.
 
You should be able to exist as yourself,
            But when I am near become a part of me.
            And if you decide to play Conor when we’re lying in bed
—Don’t tell me his life story. Music appreciation
            Will always be different for me.
 
Keep your boxers on if you must, but don’t
            Expect me to hide my nudity
            When prancing around the living room
            Late at night.
 
Don’t chant whispered sweet nothings in my ear
            During intimate moments because chances are
            You’ll ruin the mood and I’ll probably think you square…
 
Spending the night riding the washing machine
            Really isn’t as appealing as you might think it would be.
 
And if you offend me by being yourself
            Never apologize to me.
            It’s not worth it; I’m just being petty
And regret doesn’t appeal to me.
 
I may sulk and bite my lip or be a pain in your a*s,
            But my mood will eventually shatter
            And it won’t cause me to love you any less.
 
And even if you actually believe that
I am perfection; do not tell me over a candle-lit dinner
While spewing some business about love and gravity,
In fact, you probably shouldn’t tell me at all.
 
My ego doesn’t need to be fed because
The fact of the matter is…
I’ve already got a huge head.
 
What I really mean—if you really love me,
Don’t make it a chore. I wont.
 

I’m very lazy after all.
