You say you can make me happy
I want to know how
You say you can buy me what I like
You say you can make me smile
You say you can make me feel special
I want to know how
You say you can buy me purses, shoes, and perfume
You say you can kiss me softly
You say you can spend all your money on me
I look at you confused
You ask, “what’s wrong?”
I say that if that’s all you have to offer me, then I’m not missing out on much
You look shocked and say, “but how?”
If I wanted a man to buy me what I liked such as a purse, shoes, or perfume
I’d get a sugar daddy
I’m not a girl who gets excited by a man buying me materials and expecting me to be happy
I happen to be a Queen
I love kisses a lot I do
But if you think that kissing me is the only way to make me smile, then you’re sadly mistaken
Tell me a cheesy joke
Surprise me at work just because
Ask me how my day went
Give me a foot rub while we watch something on TV
I do not wear a silver plastic tiara like a princess
I wear a golden crown like a Queen
Let me be clear, I like getting gifts
But if gifts will be the only way you show you care
Then you might as well be on to the next
Spending all your money on me might make me feel special
You stop me and say “but it’ll  make you feel like a Queen”
I shake my head no
You doing that might make me feel special
But there’s more value to me as a woman than your money
Your money impresses a princess
But the man you are will have a lasting impression on a Queen
