Valentine's Day

Why give me candy
when I can simply buy it myself
Why send me a dozen roses
that will die on the shelf

Who needs a small stuffed animals
just collecting dust
And lacy lingerie,
that proves nothing but your lust

No candle light dinners
that set off the fair alarm
No corny slow dance
where you try to lay on the charm

Forget the romantic cards,
with words I’ll never even read
Give me something for Valentine's Day
that I really need

Tell me that you love me
and just hold onto my hand
Show me why I fell in love
and chose you for my man

So forget the corny cards
and all the commercial tricks
Blow out the candles
and turn off the bonnet flicks

Embrace me with your love
like you never have before
That is all I want and need,
nothing less, nothing more
