love made me cross and made me red in the cheeks <br />not for me i said it is for losers and freaks <br />all i want on a rainy day is chips and steaks <br />a dog and a plumber when my tap leaks <br /> <br />it laughed and mocked and sang all day <br />I shut all my senses June till may <br />you cant resist me it cried what say <br />believe me i will make you happy and gay <br /> <br />baby love don't come with instructions <br />it could be all i have and all i need <br />it could make me or break me <br />it could be my only cuppa tea <br /> <br />(me) i have friends who will catch me when i trip <br />(love) but who will fall with u when u slip? <br />(me) i have friends who will tell me right from wrong <br />(love) but who will be there to face the song <br /> <br />(love) i will be the roses on your doorstep <br />(me) i only want my newspaper <br />(love) i will be the breeze on your window sill <br />(me) oh reminds me i have to water the plants <br /> <br />baby love don't come with instructions <br />what will i do with it? <br />who will teach me to do the fractions? <br /> how do i deal with this? <br /> <br />(me) i don't need love i was hurt too many times <br />(love) but u didn't do it with one who rhymes <br />(me) i don't need love iam broke <br />(love) but baby u need the right stroke <br /> <br />it followed me through april may and june <br />i had to get rid of it very very soon <br />i was loving it with guilt like jamoon <br />if i didnt deal with it it was gonna make me swoon <br /> <br /> <br />i tried all the tricks of the trade <br />i got labeled miss hard to get <br />but i was as easy as the jelly which was set <br />i could have been the most easy person to get <br /> <br />baby love don't come with instructions <br />it lingers on my smile and my twinkling eyes <br />well it did conquer me and my sighs <br />i love it more than my egg fries <br /> <br />i don't know if it will leave me again as it always does <br />i don't want to kick up a huge fuss <br />i just want to bathe in this bliss <br />if it is gone tomorrow i would let it go with a kiss.<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-dont-come-with-instructions/
