old school love

i want that old thing back...

that old school loving

when i see a pretty woman

i know how to approach you

stop you by saying: 

"excuse me pretty lady

my name is . . .

i couldn't let you walk by 

without telling you how beautiful you are"

and instead of you taking it as a pick-up line

you actually knows how to take a sincere compliment

you smile

and introduce yourself 

i want to be able to ask you out for lunch

maybe a movie

or a drink

without you assuming my intentions are wrong

i want to show up with flowers 

open your door

pay for the date

walk you to your door

instead of pulling up at your house 

and letting you walk alone

i want to respect your boundaries

court you

show you what dating is

show you what a man does when he's interested in you

not what he does when he just wants to have sex with you

i want to meet your friends

meet your parents

go through all of the avenues of a relationship

i want to show you i'm a provider

that i can take care of you

and i want you to let me take care of you

i want to buy a ring

get down on one knee

and ask you to marry me

first comes love

then comes marriage

then we can talk about the babies

in the carriage

i want to be your partner

your best friend

and stay together

forever

like they used to do it. 

i want that old school love
