Honey That's You

You're cute,
You're dashing,
But oh, so exasperating,
You're the manly man
               With dark looks and a strong jaw,
You're the one-night fling
               Not the forever and ever kind of thing,
Yet here you are
               And the latter is what you offer.

Forgive me, but I can't help
               But look at you askance,
The dark, dashing guy
               Interested in a lasting romance?
I'm not naive or a fool
               So pardon me, while I giggle and snort,
There's such a thing as too good to be true
               And honey, that's you.
