You're short. (That's why I'm dumping you)

You're short.
That's why I'm dumping you.
Not 'cause you're not my type,
Not 'cause I met somebody else,
Not 'cause you smoke a pipe,
Not 'cause you smell of Friday nights
On Sunday afternoons,
Not 'cause you honk at pretty girls,
Not 'cause your friends are goons.
It's not 'cause I'm not ready
For a big commitment yet.
I'm not just being difficult
Or playing hard to get.

I think you're cute.
I know you're smart.
But you don't have the slightest clue...

You're rather short,  
At six feet tall,      
Of charm.              
And so I'm dumping you.
