I want a life of peace and love and comradely
I want a man I can love and who can love me
I want a man I can trust, because he could trust me
I want a man with values and integrity
Who wants to live right, without animosity
I want a man who isn't demanding, controlling or belittling me
I had a father who was a tyrant and didn't love me
Or his version of love was to discipline and punish me
Then I met men who wanted to control and abuse me
They thought they were more than me and they hurt me
So, I left them and didn't look back at the pain they'd caused me
Now, I live all alone and am happy to be, mostly
I'd rather be by myself, than with somebody who doesn't love me
