RUN

Tell me what you’re  thinking?
Can’t you see …. you’re settling?
Come on, honey …. look around 
It’s so darn embarrassing.

Take your time, take it slow
Don’t think she’s right for you
The contrast is so obvious
She’s a taker through and through.

She’s awfully sure, sure of herself
Are you that desperate?
Is she the one ? I don’t think so
Hate to belabor it. 

But, you’re the one I care about
So pay attention, be alert
She’s someone you met “on line”
Keep this up and you’ll get hurt.

Take your time… what’s the rush?
She’s moving way too fast
Need to find your one true love
A love you know will last. 

You’ve gotta get to know her 
Gotta take your time
She seems so awfully pushy
Wants you to tow the line. 

She reserved the U Haul van
Cleaned out a dresser drawer
She’s making plans to tie the knot
That’s what she’s aiming for.

She’s not the only game in town
I know you want romance
But please, please reconsider
Give somebody else a chance.

Regret, a pill to swallow
When you realize what you’ve done
Before things get too serious
Put on your shoes and run!
