Always such a smooth talker
He could sell a flashlight to the blind
I’ve known a million like him
Yet I fell for his act like a love-sick moron
Just like the rest he promised me the moon the stars and everything in between
He coated every sentence in drippy I love you television sap
Probably the same things he told every other woman
And somehow I felt I couldn’t live without him
A few months later he discarded me
Like an ugly piece of furniture he was sick of looking at
At first it hurt but that soon faded
A bowl of ice cream and a few tissues later his memory was toast
After all he really wasn’t much
Just a handsome prince
Who slowly turned into the slimy wart-covered toad most of them are
I guess the pixie dust he sprinkled on himself must have wore off
Chances are he’ll get some more, and there will be another damsel in distress
But maybe when he does she’ll be smarter than the rest of us
Wipe the pixie dust away
Discover a horrible phobia of toads she never knew she had
And kick him to the curb before he has a chance to croak
Yes, maybe the next one will have the sense
That could have saved this perfectly good heart
From being smashed as if it were hit by a semi or two
A lot of the others might wonder how he’s doing now
The only thing I wonder is…
Which animal was it that eats ugly little toads?
Hmm maybe if I’d have paid a bit more attention in science
I could have eliminated heartache some other gullible loser will now have to endure
When I get to heaven somebody remind me to ask
Why God decided slimy little toads were a good idea.
