A Real Man

Not all men will put you through pain
My mother effortlessly tried to explain

But how is that true?!?
When it happened to every man I gave my heart to

Sometimes I just feel hopeless
Because love always turns into a complicated mess

Along the years I've come to a conclusion
Just a thought, not exactly a solution

The definition of a man is what people never realize
It has nothing to do with age, intelligence, or size

A real man would never hurt a lady
He wouldn't treat her bad or act shady

He doesn't have to have a lot of money
As long as you're his only honey

The love he shows for only you
Is what makes a man true

Any boy can hurt someone's heart
But a man wouldn't think of doing that from the start

A real man has never dated me
I told my mom honestly
