Bad, At Love?..

Bad, At Love?..

{Chorus/Hook}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
Can't Find That Right One.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It Always Seems, To Go Wrong
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
I've made some bad choices.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It seems, I’m not equipped,
To find the one, find the one,
I was Destined, to Love, Eternally
That Special Love, Special Love,
Fate, Love, and GOD, Ordained, for me.
No! I don't want, I don't want,
For Mr Wrong to be My Destiny.
Oh, how I long, how I long,
Ooh, to no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love.

{Post-Chorus}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But with GOD'S help, I know, I can change this.
I can find someone, (find someone),
Who really and truly cherishes,
My Heart, My Soul,
My Mental and Emotional Sanity,
Someone who loves me, so, (loves me, so)
And Just Simply Wants The Best For Me,
Who Wants No More, (Wants No More),
Than Just To See Me Happy,
And when I find him, I know, (him, I know)
I will no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love.)

{Spoken Affirmation}:
In My Life, Love Will Reign.
I Make This Proclamation.
All Of My Headaches, Heartaches, and Pain,
Just A Temporary Situation.

{First Verse}:
It seems that, every time
I make a lovemate choice,
This heart of mine
Chooses, the worst of boys.
To explain it all,
Where do I begin,
Every time, I fall,
For the Chauvinistically Masculine.
Well, I guess, it's cause,
Of conditioning.
You can blame it all,
On bad programming,
The fact, that I think, that makes for
A real man
But see, real love
I never ever get from him.
Respect and care and such,
Never ever prevalent.
Cause, He's a Narcissist,
Self centered, to the core.
My feelings don't exist,
If they don't support
His wants and needs,
His ego trip.
Instead of having self-esteem,
Him, he wants me, to worship.
Men with Emotional and Psychological Defects,
I always seem to attract.
My relationship history reflects,
That at love, I'm just bad.
Choice after choice,
I seem, to make the wrong one.
In my search for love,
I choose, the worst person.
I seem, to ignore all the issues,
Miss, all the Red Flags
And get myself involved, with one who's
A Sociopath,
With no caring or conscious,
Or regard, for right and wrong.
Why is it, that I must,
Always, choose the wrong one.
See, at first, I fall, for the swagger,
His confident veneer,
And get emotionally battered.
This pattern, always, reappears.
His tough exterior,
Appealing, to me,
But from him, I don't get, any love.
He's not concerned, about my needs.
He doesn't care, about my feelings,
Nor my happiness,
But I never seem to see when
A man is characterless.
I give him, my everything,
But receive like little back.
Every time, I keep fall'n,
For a guy like that.
He's distant and aloof,
But more, it draws, me in.
Why am I such a fool?.
Why do I keep fall'n,
For Mr Wrong,
Every single time!
I'm over, done,
With these kind of guys.
I need no more
Callous liars and cheaters.
One thing's for sure.
I want no more creepers
Running round and round,
With woman after woman.
What I want now
Is to find true lovin'.
I need to make a change,
To find a better way.
I need to find the Prince
Charming to my story.
What I want,
Happily Ever After,
But it may never come,
Cause, I'm so Bad At Love.
Haven't had the fairytale,
Not in the least.
Every love has failed.
When will my heartache cease.
I need some help.
Can't do this by myself.
Left to my own devices, I know, I won't do well.
So, I ask of the LORD,
To lead and guide me, please,
To that very special love,
Of My Destiny,
To that special someone,
With whom I was meant to be,
To The Blessings, Love, and Joy,
That HE has for me,
To help me make a better choice,
So, I may no longer be,
So, Bad At Love,
And I Can Have Love, Finally.

{Chorus/Hook}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
Can't Find That Right One.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It Always Seems, To Go Wrong
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
I've made some bad choices.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It seems, I’m not equipped,
To find the one, find the one,
I was Destined, to Love, Eternally
That Special Love, Special Love,
Fate, Love, and GOD, Ordained, for me.
No! I don't want, I don't want,
For Mr Wrong to be My Destiny.
Oh, how I long, how I long,
Ooh, to no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love.

{Post-Chorus}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But with GOD'S help, I know, I can change this.
I can find someone, (find someone),
Who really and truly cherishes,
My Heart, My Soul,
My Mental and Emotional Sanity,
Someone who loves me, so, (loves me, so)
And Just Simply Wants The Best For Me,
Who Wants No More, (Wants No More),
Than Just To See Me Happy,
And when I find him, I know, (him, I know)
I will no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love.)

{Spoken Affirmation}:
In My Life, Love Will Reign.
I Make This Proclamation.
All Of My Headaches, Heartaches, and Pain,
Just A Temporary Situation.

{Second Verse}:
They say, once bitten,
Twice shy,
But I've been bitten,
At least, two times
At least twice been smitten,
With, the wrong guys.
Both times, I thought, I had maybe found,
The Right One.
But they both up and left me, now,
After procreation.
Don't know, why I was left, so, confound,
By the situation,
Cause, they both treated me callously,
Neither really showed care.
Those facts, they were rather plain to see
But I closed my eyes and ears,
To what friends and family were telling me,
As they tried to show me, the truth.
If they talked about them negatively,
I was like, how could you.
I disregarded the facts, willingly.
And continued being the fool.
But see, the plain truth is,
Neither's worth a damn.
They're pretty close to useless,
Each one of them.
Now, they both were bad choices,
And made a buffoon out of me.
They left me, with two kids,
And no support, you see.
Just a whole lot of heartache,
Struggles and hard times.
Every time, my heart breaks,
When I think about, the state of my life.
And although I love, my two princesses,
And cherish both of them.
On my own I really struggle with,
Raising two children.
Now, I never envisioned,
Things ending up like this,
But each and every bad decision
Has its consequences.
Now, you might wonder, see,
How I could twice make bad judgments, as such.
But I told you, frankly,
That I'm pretty bad at love.

{Chorus/Hook}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
Can't Find That Right One.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It Always Seems, To Go Wrong
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
I've made some bad choices.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It seems, I’m not equipped,
To find the one, find the one,
I was Destined, to Love, Eternally
That Special Love, Special Love,
Fate, Love, and GOD, Ordained, for me.
No! I don't want, I don't want,
For Mr Wrong to be My Destiny.
Oh, how I long, how I long,
Ooh, to no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love.

{Post-Chorus}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But with GOD'S help, I know, I can change this.
I can find someone, (find someone),
Who really and truly cherishes,
My Heart, My Soul,
My Mental and Emotional Sanity,
Someone who loves me, so, (loves me, so)
And Just Simply Wants The Best For Me,
Who Wants No More, (Wants No More),
Than Just To See Me Happy,
And when I find him, I know, (him, I know)
I will no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love.)

{Spoken Affirmation}:
In My Life, Love Will Reign.
I Make This Proclamation.
All Of My Headaches, Heartaches, and Pain,
Just A Temporary Situation.

{Third Verse}:
The love that I'm so wishing,
I never seem to get.
The ones I'm always choosing
Never seem to care,
But upon the horizon,
I'm most confident
Is that special person
That for me, was meant.
I can see GOD's Blessings
Raining, down on me,
My Prince Charmin',
Upon a Horse, a Steed.
I know, that right person
Is out there, waiting for me.
I'm sure, that I'll find him,
Because GOD meant it to be.
And I may not even realize ,
That he's, already, in my life.
Maybe, to find that right guy,
All I need to do is just open my eyes,
To the love and care I'm already given,
Time and time again.
Maybe, I should just give in,
To that love I know is genuine.
Maybe, that certain gentleman,
I need to see as more than just a friend.
And I may reap, a love, so heaven sent,
And have that love for which I've been so searchin'.
See, I know, out there, for me,
There’s a happily ever after.
I do so believe,
That from here and hereafter
Is A New Beginning.
It Starts My Happy Ending.
I'll have that love for which I so longed,
True caring and compassion.
I will find, that right one.
Love is just upon the horizon.
It is Destined, for me, I trust,
Of All Love's Blessings, I am on the cusps.
GOD is gonna help me change it all up,
And I'll no longer be one that's bad at love.

{Chorus/Hook}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
Can't Find That Right One.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It Always Seems, To Go Wrong
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
I've made some bad choices.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love.
It seems, I’m not equipped,
To find the one, find the one,
I was Destined, to Love, Eternally
That Special Love, Special Love,
Fate, Love, and GOD, Ordained, for me.
No! I don't want, I don't want,
For Mr Wrong to be My Destiny.
Oh, how I long, how I long,
Ooh, to no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love.

{Post-Chorus}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But with GOD'S help, I know, I can change this.
I can find someone, (find someone),
Who really and truly cherishes,
My Heart, My Soul,
My Mental and Emotional Sanity,
Someone who loves me, so, (loves me, so)
And Just Simply Wants The Best For Me,
Who Wants No More, (Wants No More),
Than Just To See Me Happy,
And when I find him, I know, (him, I know)
I will no longer be,
Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love.)

{Ending Chorus / Positive Change Up}:
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But I'm about to change this.
I know, I'll find that love (find that love),
That my heart longs for and wishes.
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
But it's just a temporary condition,
Cause, I'm gonna, find the one (find the one),
And rid myself of this affliction.
GOD will lead me from (lead me from),
My pension for bad decisions.
That special one (special one)
Is just upon the horizon.
When Love and GOD's Blessings Come (Blessings Come),
My love life will be different,
And I'll sing, a brand new song (brand new song),
And know longer will be saying,
I'm Bad At Love, Bad At Love,
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love)
(Bad At Love, Bad At Love.)

{Spoken Affirmation}:
In My Life, Love Will Reign.
I Make This Proclamation.
All Of My Headaches, Heartaches, and Pain,
Just A Temporary Situation.®
