You say my smile brought you into my world
It pulled you in like a sweet aroma
You were anxious to see what was behind that beautiful smile
You walked up to the door and I opened it with pleasure
You saw that you were given the map to the hidden treasure
The treasure you thought you had been searching for all your life
A person that you could see as your wife

But the yield signs go up
It's best to take it slow and get to know a person
Let it flow with the blowing of the wind
Start off as friends
My patience mistaken for game playing
When that's not at all what I was saying
I just want to do things the right way
I don't want just some quick lay
I want something real this time
I'm ready for the next step in my life
I am ready to become someone's wife
Could it be you, I guess I will see
Anything is possible if you believe
Communication is the key

Time goes on and everything seems cool
Or am I once again, playing the fool
My sister tried to school me on the cruelty of men
Me being the Fairy Tale Princess, I brush it off
I am a jewel and any man would be delighted to have me at his side
Like a wide-eyed child, I decide to press forward and move toward a future
I tried to ignore her guide to the "Bitter Woman of America"
I look deep inside my soul and set aside my insecurities

I feel like, the minute I decided to let go and enjoy my happiness
Your feelings begin to become suppressed
Where is the Mr. B who promised the world?
Where is the person who had all these plans?
I thought we would grow but we are going in a different direction
I am no longer feeling the affection of a man that I had high hopes for
I rarely even see him anymore

And the moments we do see each other is filled with phone calls
Late night meetings at my door
Am I not seeing the writing on the walls
I want and need more
Am I asking for too much?
Because I want to feel my man's caress
And the tenderness of his touch
I yearned for it so much all week
When I get to your house, you hardly speak
I'm filled with joy to see your face
But you back down and walk away
As my "blown meter" rises my head begins to hurt more
Migraine mania and I wanted you as my cure
But last night only leaves me unsure

I reach out to you and feel neglected
I wanted you so bad but get rejected
You say I misread you intentions
Yet you still don't pay me any attention
You mention that there will be other times
But there's no better time than the present
My pleasant evening that I had hoped for went sour
How are we going to get it back to the way it was

All I really wanted was attention from my man
And the strong touch of his hands across my skin
Now I don't know when I will experience that feeling again
You act like it doesn't bother you not to feel me
Last week you spoke of a lack of intimacy
You said you wanted us to become one
Now my perfect world is coming undone

I don't understand what changed
I'm like, what the hell?
I go from being at the top of your list to number 12
