Dear momma's boy I know you've had your butt licked by your mother<br>I know you've enjoyed all that attention from her<br>And every woman graced with your presence after<br>Dear narcissus boy I know you've never really apologized for anything<br>I know you've never really taken responsibility<br>I know you've never really listened to a woman<br><br>Dear me-show boy I know you're not really into conflict resolution<br>Or seeing both sides of every equation<br>Or having an uninterrupted conversation<br><br>And any talk of healthiness<br>And any talk of connectedness<br>And any talk of resolving this<br>Leaves you running for the door<br><br>(why why do I try to love you<br>Try to love you when you really don't want me<br>To)<br><br>Dear egotist boy you've never really had to suffer any consequence<br>You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes<br>You'd never understand anyone showing resistance<br>Dear popular boy I know you're used to getting everything so easily<br>A stranger to the concept of reciprocity<br>People honor boys like you in this society<br><br>And any talk of selflessness<br>And any talk of working at this<br>And any talk of being of service<br>Leaves you running for the door<br><br>(why why do I try to help you try to help you<br>When you really don't want me to)<br><br>You go back to the women who will dance the dance<br>You go back to your friends who will lick your ass<br>You go back to ignoring all the rest of us<br>You go back to the center of your universe<br><br>Dear self centered boy I don't know why I still feel affected by you<br>I've never lasted very long with someone like you<br>I never did although I have to admit I wanted to<br>Dear magnetic boy you've never been with anyone who doesn't take your shit<br>You've never been with anyone who's dared to call you on it<br>I wonder how you'd be if someone were to call you on it<br><br>And any talk of willingness<br>And any talk of both feet in<br>And any talk of commitment<br>Leaves you running for the door<br><br>(why why do I try to change you try to<br>Try to change you when you really don't<br>Want me to)<br><br>You go back to the women who will dance the dance<br>You go back to your friends who will lick your ass<br>You go back to being so oblivious<br>You go back to the center of the universe
