Why don,t I get a chance
A chance to prove that I am a woman who desires to be loved
To show that I am wifey material
A chance to love you so much that it overflows
A chance to prove that....
Under that thick, solid shell of protection is hidden
Softness, kindness, and fear
Fear of being rejected again
Being minimized, used, and abused
Fear of being a puppet in the master\'s hands
A chance to show that
I can be that happy girlfriend
That attentive best friend
And that passionate partner
A chance to prove that
I deserve more than just a last minute call
More than being dumped because I am \"too high maintenance\"
A chance to show you that
I only need flowers, not expensive gift
I only seek your attention
A chance to show you that ........
In my world, small things mean a lot more than extravaganza
Why don\'t you give me a chance to love you, to cherish you
To spoil you, and to make you whole
All I\'m asking for is a chance!
