My Valentine

I want someone who smiles at my name,

I want someone who isn’t playing his little game,

I’ve met players and stalkers,

Heartbreakers and mockers,

Will there ever be someone that’s just kind?

Will I ever find my valentine?

Then cupid got me,

He came down and shot me,

Now I’ve fallen so deep,

I can hardly fall asleep,

I think I’ve found someone that’s just kind,

I’ve finally found my valentine,

And then he changed his ways

Trying to catch her gaze,

I looked into his eyes,

And saw the whole disguise,

I think I’m losing my mind,

Now I hate my valentine,

So I’ll start searching again,

For someone to call mine,

I’ll keep looking for my valentine.
