cocky
by Lauren Singeri'm the type of girl
that breaks the hearts of
real nice guys
and bends over backwards
for the cocky, god-damned know it all's
with their eyebrows up
and their half-smiles at attention.
the kind of guys
you want to taste
from lip to parted lip,
the kind of guy you wish you could make nervous
but never can.
the kind of guys who think they have it all
til they got nothing left.
the kind of guy that makes anything appealing.
the kind of guy too brave to beg.
the kind of guys who are rough around the edges
and soft in the eyes,
that make your cheeks flush
with their kisses good-bye.
i want the kind of guy to keep me on his arm
and tell me how it is. 01/25/2005 Posted on 01/25/2005
