There is a very sweet girl that you might know
She isn't that attractive, but people find her beautiful
She will buy you cookies and invite you deep inside
before you deserve it, and she'll bleed for days
when you leave.
She's too fat for you, you'll tell yourself.
You have to sleep with the skinny girls.
She's just nice to have around, to lean
on when the bean poles are slow or busy
or absent minded.
She's sturdy and she'll make you feel like
a man. You'll love her somewhere in your
black/blue heart. You'll use her up until she dies.
