She Only Sleeps With Strangers

 

She only sleeps with strangers,

And she never makes friends.

Her style is too cold,

Her moves, too bold,

And her needs can never be fulfilled.

 

She only sleeps with strangers,

Because she can never make friends.

She comes across as cold,

Yet she wants somebody to hold,

But she can’t trust anyone to get close.

 

She only sleeps with strangers,

Because it’s easier than making friends.

She feels so alone and cold,

And someone should be told,

She wants to be loved like everyone else.

 

She only sleeps with strangers,

Because that’s all there is.

She’s lonely even with the strangers,

And sad when she’s alone,

And she wants someone to love.

 

She only sleeps with strangers.
