get a clue

I've always said that boys are dumb. (Sorry,

History

Seems to agree with me.) Conveniently,

They're simply

Wired with an ON and OFF button. They complain,

Like in pain,

That girls are too complicated to perceive,

Then they leave

Us alone with our "complications." It is why,

I won't lie,

We have faders and knobs that pan left and right.

Quite a sight.

I don't say you're dumb because you're different.

What I meant

Was that you're too oblivious to notice

Obvious

Feelings. And when you finally do, you fear

What is near.

You're dumb because you leave and try to forget.

Then you get

It all of a sudden. But I won't be there, dear.

Shed no tear,

It's your fault you fail to grasp simple "I love you."

Get a clue.
