Will someone please tell me the rules! What am I doing wrong? Surely it cannot be this hard! Oh god I want my mum! It wasn't this difficult when I was young But then the pressure wasn't on There must be something that I am missing What am I doing wrong? Am I being distant? Am I coming on too keen? Am I being much too nice? Am I being very mean? How can I avoid feeling shallow When I ask for the all important pic And then find myself grimacing When it turns out to be another a dick! Am I meant to cancel all diary dates When we agree to meet each other Or am I meant to know in actual fact That he really cannot bother Should I not feel disappointment When the man of my dreams says he's met someone new Should I not cry out in despair when a guy that I'm keen on Says "it was only sex - you know you wanted that too" "The truth is you don't turn me on" How honest am I meant to be? I want to do as I would be done by But I'd be hurt if it was me! How can I let them down gently But be true and just and fair But then how can I be sure that I'm not saying goodbye To the one for whom I was meant to care How can I make it plain, that I am a normal woman Who dreams of meeting Mr Right And that even though I am kinky I still hope I might! Someone please tell me what are the rules How's this game meant to be played Or is it all just meaningless And all men ever want is to get laid? I pray that I am wrong and he is out there somewhere Maybe he's playing a different game plan Maybe we can rewrite the rule book together Could you be just this man? © 2002 H.D
