Wifey Material*, by Melanie Butler
|
At one time in my life
I was someone's wife
mother
friend
and his chick on the side
I was his doctor
psychologist
and his gangsta bitch that was always ready to ride
But I wasted my time
because he couldn't love me for who I was
only for who he wanted me to be
So I say fuck that nigga now
He lost a good thing because he's so damn naive
He'll never find another girl like me
that will tend to his every need without a complaint
or a question
And I didn't even have a ring on my finger
so at least through everything
I learned me a lesson
He'll never again have the pleasure or the priviledge
of sharing my space or my bed
I don't know whether I was that deep in love or just blinded
by the sex
but I had it all twisted in the head
I kept trying to play house with a motherfucker that meant
more to me than I could ever mean to his trifling ass
Never again will I put myself in that predicament
and the next time I play the wifey role
will be my last
'Cause for me to put myself out there
giving my all and catering to an every need
must mean that I'm receiving 100%
and all favors are being returned to me
I've got no problem giving my all to someone
as long as I know it will be worth my time
I'm looking to get real loyalty
and real dedication
cause love ain't always gots to be blind |
