Just Don't...

Don't send me flowers
That will only wilt and die
Hug me or page me
If you want to see me cry

Don't say you love me
It proves not a word
When your actions have shown me
You love another girl

Don't be romantic
Or plan a candlelit dinner
Don't buy me chocolates
That won't make me thinner

Don't wait by my doorstep
That's only for fools
Go ahead, ignore me
You can keep your cool

Don't show me off to your friends,
I'm not a thoroughbred,
Don't make me promises
That you'll just break instead

Don't call me when you cry
I couldn't care less
I wish you would leave me
It's only for the best.
