You Can't Buy a Man's Love

Buy that man something nice,
so grateful for his sugar and spice.

He gives your weak heart something to sing,
while you sit back waiting for that ring.

Don't know what next that you could do,
but step in his shoes and see his view.

Money can't buy love, so don't even try.
Avoid the hype, don't believe the lie.

Sure he smiled and said, "Oh, thank you."
But what happens when the dollars are few?

Will he have your back during times of lack?
Will he be there when lust has lost its stare?

Does he do for you like you do for him?
Does he fill your love cup to the brim?

Seems like he loves to take and take.
Leaving you feeling like he's a fake.

Watch the man, know where he stands!
Don't put anything more in his hands!
