Choosing Boys

I buried my face In my silk pillow case And drank about eight bottles of wine Yeah, the first month was Hell It wasn't so going well This pain was never a plan of mine Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize The issue hasn't been finding A way out of stuck The problem has never been purely bad luck It's who I've been choosin', the only solution Is going another way I'll be disappointed For rest of my days If I don't pick a new path and make a change Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys Or start dating real men And quit choosing boys Quit choosing boys Been running a race Streaming tears down my face Can't remember a night when I wasn't crying Yeah, those first months were Hell They only got worse and I could never tell Was I gonna survive Or end up dyin' Then, slowly, the days passed by, and I quickly came to realize The issue hasn't been finding A way out of stuck The problem has never been purely bad luck It's who I've been choosin', the only solution Is going another way I'll be disappointed For rest of my days If I don't pick a new path and make a change Could stay in a playpen and tinker with toys Or start dating real men And quit choosing boys Quit choosing boys You see, it's like this The first boy I kissed And just about all of 'em since Have had a sleeve full of tricks, yeah I'd fall like a ton of bricks Heavy and fast Praying maybe this would be the one that would last Cast a net on my hopeful heart Taking advantage I'm smarter now So, I won't allow Puttin' up with their antics I can't stand it The games are for kids And I'm a woman on a mission with a life to live I wanna give away mine And capture a heart Take the path of least resistance Right from the start Cuz I know love is an ocean of the deepest blue So, find your shade, and ride the wave All the way through For all the ladies out there Needing advice The issue will never be finding, a way out of stuck The problem will never be purely bad luck It's who we've been choosin' The only solution Is going another way I'm finally LIVING The BEST of my days Paved a new path and made a change Got out of the playpen Away from the toys Started dating real men REAL men And quit choosing boys Quit choosing boys Quit choosing boys Quit choosing boys, yeah I QUIT CHOOSING BOYS
