True Romance - Silverstein

I’m not here to judge you,

I’m just here to tell you what you have done wrong.

Beautiful girl looking her best,

takes off a towel, puts on a dress.

Fixes her hair to look good for someone

who waits in a car to go to a motel.

…to a motel.

I may not always be perfect, but I’ll always try.

Will you say your prayers just to be honest with yourself?

Will you save your soul?

Is this what you wanted all along?

Head in your hands,

what have you done?

Half the bed’s cold, she knows it’s her fault.

but she’ll be fine.
