why can't you fall in love with me
are my hips too wide
stomach too big
do i cry too much
am i just a bitch
i like to think i'm lovable
i have a kind heart
and sort of know my way with words
but you still can't fall in love with me
i give you sex
thinking maybe
just maybe
that'll make it change
deep down i know it won't
but i'll keep trying
and trying
and trying
because i'm tired of feeling love one sided
i'll change any part of me
if that's any help
i'll turn myself into a ball of clay
for you to mold
in any way you choose
i could be cool
calm
collected
i could be smart
and funny
i'll become anything you want
as long as you tell me you love me
