Elementary, My Dear Lady

With the same questions you come yet again,
Hands in the air, tears welling in your eyes.
I don't mind hearing you out now and then,
But I must say girl it's time to get wise.
I've heard you out, I've given you advice,
Yet you fail to listen so never absorb.
For the inattention you pay a price,
Your wedding band an elusive little orb.
Next time you knock I won't be here,
So remember - the challenge, though sexy, will not last.
Use your head and the choice is clear.
He, and all your efforts to change him, will come to pass.
If you cry tears they'd better be of joy.
Wouldn't you rather a man than a boy?
Next time a sweet one puts his heart on the line
Reject him and you'll be the one I malign.
Would that I had it as easy as you
To attract a man so steady and true.
It's elementary my dear - I've known it for some time.
To not appreciate your good fortune is such a crime.
