Don't Love Me

Don’t love me out of gratitude

Don’t love me out of pity

Don’t love me ‘cause I’m ugly,

Don’t love me ‘cause I’m pretty,

Don’t love me for my money,

Don’t love me for its lack

Don’t love me for my charm,

Don’t love me for my tact

Don’t love me to change me

Don’t love me to hurt me

Don’t love me for work,

Don’t love me for my play

Don’t love me for things I do,

Don’t love me for the things I say

Don’t love me for my friends

Don’t love me for my family

Don’t love me for my pets

Don’t love me for my home

Don’t love me at all, for all these things,

Don’t love me, because you see,

I just want someone

To love me.

Simply love me for me.
