what they want

I was always taught to give boys what they want
But never give too much
Always look attractive
But never let them touch
If you rejected a guy
Then you were just stuck up
But if you gave in
You were just a slut

Since when did the boys' opinions
Be the ones to define us?
But when we caught feelings
They were the first to fuss
"I'm not looking for a relationship"
"You're just not my type"
It really just seems like this relationship stuff
Isn't worth the hype

Boys get horny
Girls get needy
Girls get desperate
Boys get greedy
We all want to be loved
We just have different ways of getting that
Girls can accept rejection
Boys just act like a brat

Girls are known
For always being sad
But why is it not the boys faults?
They were the ones who got mad
"Just sit back and take it"
"You know you're cute when you're upset"
Since when is it okay
For anyone to have this mindset

So tie your hair back
Put on your tight but modest clothes
Sit on your dangerously high pedestal
And hit your best pose
Give boys what they want
But don't give too much
Always look attractive
But never let them touch
