DON’T SETTLE

Wish I had a boyfriend 
Like all my other friends
Guess I’m too darn picky
I’ve got rules,  I just can’t bend. 

Like does he have a job, a car?
Can he get from here to there?
Will he call an Uber
Can he even pay the fare?

Did he go to college?
Does he live at home with mom?
Doesn’t matter how good looking
Where exactly is he from?

Can he make a living?
Can he make it on his own?
Is he the kind of guy that I
Might have to give a loan?

I’m so independent
Don’t want to carry him
I have plans to travel
Maybe I’ll just go with friends.

Be careful what you wish for
Might be better off alone 
Don’t want a deadbeat boyfriend 
Who is always getting stoned.

My girlfriends have their reasons
They put up with quite a lot
The beer, the wings, the football games
But, I would rather not.

I have tickets to the opera
I enjoy the symphony
Settling for a loser
Would never work for me.
