Don't wear that lipstick shade,
You know that he adores
Don't dress the way he likes,
Don't bury yourself in chores
Don't cook his favourite meals,
While he sits and watches the game
Don't give him your whole world,
If he won't do the same.
Don't clean up after him,
Don't buy his favourite things
And don't you dare forgive him,
When he apologizes for his flings
Don't do it all yourself,
When he promised you'd be a team
Don't carry any weights,
If he won't balance the beam.
Don't wait for him for hours,
When he promised you a date
Don't stay with a man who can't even,
Tell you when he's late
Don't cry yourself to sleep,
Thinking you did wrong
Darling, let me tell you,
It was him all along.
Don't make him what he asks for,
Although he forgets your birthday
Don't let him use you,
Because that is not okay
Don't you dare stay with him,
If all he does is lie
Don't give away your heart,
If to keep it, he won't try.
