Don't Do These Things If You Love Me.

Don't ask me out if we've just started talking,

My legs might go a-walking!

Don't be a fool on the Internet,

No! You don't know me, not yet.

Don't say you love me on our first date,

I don't want this to turn to hate,

Don't ask for sex before I'm ready;

Don't you believe in going steady?

Don't buy me flowers to get my attention,

This is not about my ascension!

Don't ask to marry me on our first date,

Time still moves, it can wait!

If you are late,

Don't expect me to wait!

Don't show my body to everyone you see,

I'm not an ornament,

So, please don't if you love me.
