Players Burden


No girl ever meant more than booze

Spend a night with them then you’ll lose

Slippin out quick-out the back door

She wadn’t right for ya if she left

All she was a dirty theft

I want a real girl, blonde with legs up to her chin

That’s how ya know you really win

I want a brunette with library glasses

Not a rich bitch from the upper classes

Problem is I don’t attract the good girls

I get all the bad ones, all the gold diggers

Bring the wrong drink; they’ll pull the gun triggers

I want a girl and need her

Heart-stopping hundred-three degree fever

  1. wow i knew you were a dirtbag; but this sets it over the top. who do you think you are writing about woman in such a demeaning manner.

  2. Interesting perspective, alex, but i don't agree with the way that you describe women. When you are talking about a woman that you would like in the future, calling some a bitch will not help your cause.

  4. Hmmm, Alex, I am going to assume that you took on another voice/persona for this burden poem. Being a woman, I don't like the message of the lyrics. Looking at the poetic merit...you do use a colloquial voice and have sort of a rhyme scheme and a little imagery/figurative language.

    Maybe persue a career as a lyricist for rap musicians.
