Games & Lies

Time and time again lettin' my guard down.
Listening to words,
Ignoring actions.
I should know better by now.
But a hopeless romantic I am.
Wanting, waiting, thinking there is love out there for me.
Not even lookin' and they find me.
What do I have invisible ink on me?
A glowing sign that says....
Hurt me. Use me. Throw me to the side.??
Does it make them feel like a man to cause someone pain they don't even know?
Or is that it?
Because they don't know you they just don't care.

When you think you got it all figured out and your guard is up.
A smooth talkin' two timin' man comes along.
Makes you smile and feel amazing.
Least do you know they already taken.
Got a girl at home & you just the game they playin'.
Now your stuck not knowing where to begin or where to end.
Stay and keep doin' what your doin'.
Or try yet again with some other man who may or may not run a game on you to?
Are there any real men left?
Is it that hard to be real?
To be faithful to the chic you got?
To really love someone & mean the words comin' out your mouth?
Nowadays it's nuthin' to say baby I love you.
Don't say what you don't mean.
Don't run a game on some chic just cuz your ass is bored at home.
Be a real man & love the woman you have.
The one at home waitin' on you while your runnin' the streets.
The heart is a delicate organ that should not be played with.
The soul is strong but only for so long.
Don't walk into a woman's life knownin' your just gonna play her & run your game.
Stop and think.....
Would you want some man to treat you momma, sister, or daughter like that?
Treat a woman the way you would want a man to treat the women in your family.
It takes more then just words to really love someone.
Actions must follow those words.
So love; really love with all your heart & soul.
Respect the woman that stands by your side through thick and thin.
That's real love & no you won't find it some where else.
Don't go out hurtin' another woman just cuz you can.
You don't know her story or how many times the man before you hurt her.
Love, protect, & cherish what you love.
For one day you may wake up & it'll be gone.
Time flys by,
The clock is forever ticking.
Love unconditionally & without reserve.
Life's to short to play games & live a lie.
