I Resolve

I resolve not to be so stupid!

Will you keep Monday night open for me, darling?

I resolve not to play these games

All right, sweetheart?

How often I've been a sitting duck for Cupid

How often I've let him shoot me down in flames

Sweetheart, say it's all right!

I resolve not to be so trusting

It's high time, time that I awoke

Whatever I've got up here, it's up here rusting

My feminine intuition is a joke

I must be cousin to a cat

I always wind up with a rat

I'm through with momentary thrills

I find I can't afford the bills

I resolve

Come what may

I will not be this girl one more day

I resolve not to be so brainless

I resolve not to be so dumb

My usual brush with love is far from painless

And suddenly I have got to know how come

I resolve not to blame the others

Just because I'm an easy mark

I wanna know why I never meet their mothers

Where men are concerned, I'm always in the dark

I must stop thinking with my skin

I will not be a mandolin

That someone strums and puts away

Until he gets the urge to play

I resolve

Here and now

I will be a different girl

Somehow
