Mister

Mr. Sensitivity, cries "I've been hurt too many times,"
Making you think he's got a fragile heart.
He claims that he doesn't play with girls' minds
Making you think he was real from the start.

Mr. Integrity, swears that he doesn't play games
Telling you how he rejects those that do.
Funny how while you're sitting alone in pain
He's out making a fool of you.

Mr. Lonely says, "I hate sleeping by myself"
Claiming you're the only one he wants to dream next to
Makes you think that there's nobody else
But when you're gone just about anyone will do.

So here you are, fell for all his lines
You let your guard down and opened your heart
But, as usual, your heart has made you blind
To all the games he's been playing from the start.

As time goes on feelings grow and things change
And you've toss aside all your doubts.
He starts calling you "baby" in place of your name
And now he's all you can think about.

Mr. Bashful insists that he's so shy
Claiming he's afraid of what others think
Making you think he's a different type of guy
But just watch what happens after a few drinks

Mr. Composure pretends he doesn't get irate
Telling you how he doesn't hold a grudge.
You better be careful what you do or say
Once his mind's made up he won't budge.

Mr. Deprived acts like he needs you all the time.
Making you feel special and secure.
But wait until someone else comes down the line.
You'll find out he doesn't need you anymore.

But foolishly you gave into his lies
Just a pawn in his little game.
You gave him too much of your time
Now you're standing alone in pain.

You can't let down your guard
The game of love is like a sport
You have to play twice as hard
When the ball is in your court

But sports were never my thing.
I never really played by the rules.
So just when I thought I was about to win.
I came out looking like a fool.
