Hey Cowboy!

Please, don't flirt with me if you don't mean it.
Don't twinkle your eye from across the room
Or sneak your hand around my waist
If I am not the one that you want.

If I am an ego boost
Or a convenient distraction
Or a snack to starve off the lonely cravings
Then, please, leave me alone.

The guards are tired from spearing any glimpse of feeling I have for you
Because you don't want any responsibility for the health of my heartbeat.
I can't keep pretending that I'm so cool realcool icecool

that I can listen to you ooze about other women
as you claim my knee with your palm.

So, if you're not going to hold my hand as we walk home 
or bundle me in snuggles when we wake up
and steal as many kisses as you can before I leave 
and feel lucky that I said, "Ok"
and call the next day,

just 'cause 
and want to do it all over again
With Feeling!
Then rewind your witty line
and take your hand off my ass
and play it for somebody else.

Please, if you don't mean it,
just
don't.
