That condescending thing he does

It makes him seem like a silly boy

A silly boy that this girl knows.

His pronouncements are the final word

And make me want to hug him close

Or set him free like a wild bird

This silly boy did this girl choose.

He doesn’t even know it either

The things he says or what he spurns

In the lesson of life he is my teacher

It’s a silly boy that this girl learns.

He spouts such nonsense constantly

He cannot live, he cannot love

He says that he can’t even be

But this silly boy do I still love.

And when he’s wiser in his years

He’ll understand what he once had

The love he ignored like forgotten tears

This silly girl who once loved a lad.
